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.
