Good Afternoon, COEHD Colleagues,
I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!
Dr. Claudia Treviño Garcia and I will be presenting this Saturday, January 28, 2023 at the
San Antonio Independent School District's Siempre Bilingüe Conference if you would
like to join us virtually! We will be presenting on the culturally efficacious
framework's application to dual language campus leadership.
Leaders supporting teachers’ cultural efficacy development: Strategies to sustain a dual
language program
9:30 AM to 10:15 AM
Principals are necessary for the successful development and implementation of dual
language programs. This informational session is for campus leaders to learn about Flores,
Claeys’ and Gist’s (2018) four critical and culturally efficacious strategies and how to
implement these strategies as a framework for sustaining a dual language program. The
presenters will share specific recommendations that align to the 80/20 dual language
program model, emphasize translanguaging strategies, elevate sociocultural competence, and
celebrate biliteracy and bilingualism.
