Read, Laugh, and Learn Together: Integrating Diverse Texts to Support Multilingual Learners in Your School with Carla España

How can you integrate content, language, and support students in their analysis of the world and life experiences through the use of children’s books? Learn more about Carla España’s critical bilingual literacies framework from her co-authored text, En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Teachers. Carla will show sample lessons and unit designs that include poetry, language study, and action plans to design culturally and linguistically sustaining instruction for all children. Carla will also show examples of text collections that include children’s books at different levels for students and educators, helping all of us deepen our knowledge of topics such as identity; place and change, intergenerational connections; migration and immigration; community and connections; and changemakers.
