#cocabe2019 Additional examples of dynamic bilingualism in the classroom. Thanks, Dr. Vanessa Santiago Schwarz, for a highly engaging presentation that gave me ideas to use tomorrow!

Dr. Vanessa Santiago Schwarz, Supporting Struggling Emergent Bilingual Students through CLRT: Constructing a positive ethnic identity is crucial for all of our students, especially those from marginalized groups. #cocabe2019

[Alexandra Johnson @aula105]

Idea 2) Use Counter-stories that challenge common teachings and elevate subgroup histories and viewpoints. #cocabe2019 #clrtstrategies

[Alexandra Johnson @aula105]

Ideas for bringing culturally and linguistically responsive strategies into the classroom... 1.) Daily morning meetings thay connect to students’ lives. Example from 5th grade, from directly after Inauguration 2016. #cocabe2019

At #cocabe2019 listening to Dr. Ester de Jong speak about treating multilingualism as a tremendous asset. “Take a multilingual stance... treat bilinguals as bilinguals. Both languages are activated at all times in our brains. What will trigger each language?” @Colorado_CABE
