BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND AND UPDATED CONTENT - Moving to Biliteracy: Program Development for Dual Language and Bilingual Programs

This highly interactive, two-day virtual institute is designed for district- and school-level teams who are planning to launch, refine, or re-focus dual language and biliteracy programs. Whether you're supporting one-way dual language, two-way immersion, maintenance, or late-exit bilingual programs, this institute provides the systems, structures, and leadership tools to move toward high-quality, sustainable implementation of biliteracy instruction and development.

Over live sessions, we will guide participants through:

• Current research in bilingual and dual language education
• Programmatic and leadership considerations for implementation
• Systems and structures that support effective biliteracy instruction
• The Biliteracy Unit Framework for integrating language, literacy, and content
