Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

This course prepares bilingual educators for developing reading and writing among preK-12 students learning in two languages. Using a case study approach, participants will carry out formative assessment of literacy and language behaviors with a focus student or student group.  They will use observation and analysis to design biliteracy instruction that honors student strengths across languages and across domains.  Class sessions will incorporate collaboration and reflection of case studies in different contexts, addressing factors that impact biliteracy development. This course builds knowledge of foundational skills, reading strategies, writing, reading comprehension, and reading fluency. Readings and activities will be carried out in Spanish and English.
