NOVICE DLBE EDUCATORS SAY... 

"This has been so helpful in learning what I can expect for the coming school year. I am brand new to working in a dual language program, so this fantastic session gave me much needed information! I really enjoyed the small groups where we were able to look at sample work and then use the rubric."

"This was amazing and really helped break down the bridge and comparative analysis to promote metacognition. An excellent introduction!"

"This session positively impacts my professional practice by equipping me with valuable strategies for intentional translanguaging to support dual language students. Great presentation full of practical ideas to teach metalinguistic awareness for multilingual learners!" 

VETERAN DLBE EDUCATORS SAY... 

"This session was a valuable refresher, and it allowed me to reflect on new strategies applicable to my teaching practice. I’m confident it will enhance my ability to teach my students and integrate linguistic teaching strategies with greater intentionality and sensitivity."

"This has been so helpful! It motivated me to implement changes such as diversifying activities to address different learning styles and using more dynamic resources that foster participation and meaningful learning for my students.I plan to integrate more culturally responsive teaching practices that validate and leverage students’ full linguistic repertoires."

"This experience has made me more aware of how to use assessment data to guide my instruction. Instead of focusing solely on the numbers, I will use the data to help my students make more meaningful connections and support their overall learning progress. It also provided me with more evidence-based analysis of writing development."

DLBE LEADERS SAY... 

"An affirming session - it deepened my awareness of how personal beliefs, assumptions, and biases can shape decision-making in leadership situations. By unpacking dilemmas with these tools, I can now reflect and engage in more intentional, equitable responses."

"This was an excellent class and I was really glad to be part of it, thank you! It made me think more about how I engage with staff and the importance of being intentional in those conversations. I want to be more thoughtful in how I communicate and make sure I am supporting staff in a way that builds trust and moves our work forward. I will definitely be incorporating a demo lesson in the future for new teachers!"

"The MABE facilitator is a wealth of knowledge! This will be so helpful in guiding our teachers. Thankfully, after this session I have a better understanding as to how to support teachers as they build their own knowledge and professional practices."
