SUMMARY:MLRC Speaker Series: Trish Morita-Mullaney
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Trish Morita-Mullaney from Purdue University will present “Lau and Brown at Odds? Historicizing Language Rights and Racial Integration for Transformative Education” \nThis talk will explore two landmark Supreme Court cases: Lau v. Nichols (1974) and Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Dr. Morita-Mullaney will examine how these cases intersected and sometimes conflicted in their approaches to racial and linguistic equity in education.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Xuan Zhou
DESCRIPTION:Xuan Zhou presents Urban STEM Teachers’ Social-Emotional Competencies and Teaching Efficacy in Post-Pandemic Workplace on January 9th\, 2025. This study investigated science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics teachers’ social-emotional competencies\, professional development in social-emotional learning\, and teaching self-efficacy in urban secondary schools serving many English learners. Findings revealed significant gaps in teaching self-efficacy and social-emotional competencies following the pandemic\, with limited engagement in professional development focused on social-emotional learning. \nRegister here.\n \nThis study examined the status of STEM teachers’ Social-Emotional Competencies (SEC)\, PD engagement in social-emotional learning (SEL)\, and level of teaching self-efficacy (TSE) in urban secondary public schools that serve students with a large proportion of English learners. Results show that there are significant gaps between the current and optimal status of urban STEM teachers’ TSE and SEC during the post-pandemic workplace. Moreover\, this study found urban STEM teachers lacked PD engagement in SEL during the post-pandemic\, and their PD engagement in SEL was identified as having significant impacts on the promotion of STEM teachers’ TSE via their SEC. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Accelerating Improvement through Action Research
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to partner with AMISA to bring you an insightful webinar on supporting multilingual learners. Join Jon Nordmeyer\, MLRC School Network Director\, and Dr. Esther Bettney Heidt\, MLRC School Network Researcher\, to discover how research-based strategies can help you create a more inclusive and effective learning environment for your students. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to enhance your approach to multilingual education! \nResearch is essential to design\, evaluate\, and improve learning – and connecting practical wisdom with systemic tools of inquiry closes the gap between research and practice. Many international school leaders want to develop their school’s capacity to engage with and in educational research\, and accreditation standards often point to collaborative inquiry and action research as school improvement strategies. This session will share insights from projects designed and implemented at MLRC partner schools as well as future opportunities for international schools to participate in research. The MLRC School Network is a university-based\, research-practice partnership committed to learning about and improving outcomes for multilingual students. \nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:MLRC Speaker Series: Madigan Peercy et al
DESCRIPTION:Megan Madigan Peercy\, Jessica Crawford\, Daisy Fredricks\, and Loren Jones present Moving Humanizing Principles to Practice: How We’re Using Core Practices for Teaching MLLs. Registration required.  \nThis webinar provides a praxis-oriented follow-up to the October talk on core practices for teaching multilingual students. We have found that teacher educators often welcome opportunities to hear about the details of one other’s pedagogical decision-making\, but rarely get to gather these insights. In this webinar\, we discuss how we are using the core practices research and materials in our own teaching. We describe the pedagogical work the core practices entail and how approaching methods courses in this way has changed our teaching with different kinds of teacher populations. We also share empirical\, theoretical\, and pedagogical considerations and next steps in this work.

SUMMARY:MLRC Speaker Series: Madigan Peercy et al
DESCRIPTION:Megan Madigan Peercy\, Johanna Tigert\, Daisy Fredricks\, & Melanie Hardy-Skeberdis present Leveraging Core Practices to Support Teachers’ Humanizing Pedagogy with MLLs. Registration required. \nIn this webinar\, we share an overview of the six core practices for teaching multilingual students that we have developed in collaboration with early career teachers. These practices emerged in response to the gap that Faltis & Valdes (2016) identified regarding the lack of direction offered to teacher educators about “the kinds of knowledge\, skills\, and inclinations teachers need to develop in order to be good and effective teachers and advocates for students who are speaking a language other than English” (p. 549). We highlight the core practices\, share classroom examples\, discuss how they support teachers’ humanizing pedagogy with MLLs\, offer resources for teacher and teacher educator development\, and describe our current and future efforts to further this research.

This presentation shares evidence from a randomized controlled trial on the Tier 1 content literacy intervention known as the Model of Reading Engagement (MORE). It highlights the effectiveness of MORE’s integrated approach in improving reading and writing outcomes for multilingual learners and their English-proficient peers. \nPlease register in advance.
