SUMMARY:Festival of Education Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Jon Nordmeyer\, MLRC School Network Director will be holding his workshop\,” Translanguaging: Multilingualism as a Superpower\,” at the Festival of Education\, hosted by St Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac\, MD. \nJon’s workshop dives more into independent and international schools that are fortunate to include students from many language backgrounds\, and translanguaging is one way to build on multilingualism as an asset. Translanguaging is both the complex and fluid language practices of multilingual\, as well as the pedagogical approaches that leverage those practices (Garcia & Lin\, 2016). Whether translanguaging is a new concept or familiar idea\, many educators have important questions or doubts about how it might apply to their classrooms and schools. Teachers ask: “How do I support translanguaging if I’m not bilingual?” Leaders wonder\, “How might parents respond if we introduce translanguaging at our school?” In this hands-on workshop\, you will engage with current research about translanguaging practices and pedagogies\, while considering practical application to diverse classroom contexts. You will engage with current debates about translanguaging and leave with resources to guide next steps at the classroom and school level.

SUMMARY:MLRC Speaker Series: Andrea L. Ochoa
DESCRIPTION:Andrea L. Ochoa\, Ph.D.\, examined interview data collected from school principals across California during the 2022–23 academic year. Using a modified social justice policy implementation framework\, her analysis revealed themes related to principals’ depth of understanding regarding their staff and community\, how their school policies address or neglect the needs of multilingual learners\, and the extent to which school leaders’ beliefs and perceptions inform practical decision making. This talk will elucidate how the principals’ understanding of the needs and characteristics of a school community informs their policy and program decisions.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: June 12th Dr. Nicolette Grant Presents "The Lived Experiences of International Dual Language Immersion Teachers Working in North Carolina"
DESCRIPTION:Substantial longitudinal research indicated that well-implemented dual language immersion programs are highly effective instructional models for multilingual learners (Thomas and Collier\, 2017). With the increased popularity of these programs and a shortage of certified educators across the United States\, securing bilingual teachers is challenging. This presentation shares the findings from a qualitative study of seven international Latinx teachers in North Carolina and provides recommendations for the onboarding and retention practices. \nPlease register in advance!

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Christine Montecillo Leider & Christina L. Dobbs
DESCRIPTION:Drs. Montecillo Leider and Dobbs present “Conceptualizing Teachers’ Beliefs about Linguistic Diversity: The Relationship between Beliefs about Language Learning and Sociopolitical Beliefs about Language” Research shows that teacher dispositions significantly influence their practices\, particularly regarding cultural\, linguistic\, and ethnic diversity. In language education\, these dispositions encompass beliefs about language learning and attitudes toward language diversity. This study examines teacher dispositions holistically\, revealing through factor analysis a nuanced relationship between beliefs about how language is learned and views on language diversity\, emphasizing the complexity of teaching culturally and linguistically diverse learners. \nRegistration required

SUMMARY:MLRC Speaker Series: Igone Arteagoitia
DESCRIPTION:Igone Arteagoitia presents Exemplary Dual Language Bilingual Education Programs: What does it take?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDual language bilingual education (DLBE) programs are diverse in contexts\, and have variation in implementation\, making it more difficult to determine what factors contribute to their success. For that reason\, it is critical to compile evidence from successful DLBE programs to provide a basis for replication and to achieve better fidelity of implementation of these programs\, especially as the demand continues to grow. Using the Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education (Howard et al.\, 2018) as a framework\, we set out to document some of the characteristics observed in two DLBE programs on the basis of students’ reading performance (Arteagoitia & Yen\, 2020). \nRegister in advance

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.
