CONFERENCE PRESENTATION: Literacy & Justice for All 

Join SEAL to explore how to develop students’ metalinguistic awareness through cross-linguistic strategies and practices.

March 6 - 7 

Oakland, Calif.

Empowering Biliteracy: Strengthening Cross-Linguistic Connections in Multilingual Programs: Bilingual children need the skills to analyze and understand both their languages; to know how they work and how they are similar and different. This interactive workshop will explore how to develop students’ metalinguistic awareness through cross-linguistic strategies and practices. Through classroom videos and strategies such as TheDictado, Así se dice, and Metalinguistic Anchor Charts, we will equip teachers with the practical skills to develop students' biliteracy through understanding the relationship between their two languages.

✨ Presenters

Sarah Rizik-Baer, SEAL Program Manager

Ashleigh Williams, SEAL Program Coordinator
