Description

Emergent bilinguals currently make up about 10% of the US K-12 student population, and this population is expanding very quickly (NCES 2022). Educators must meet the needs of EBs and ensure their success. However, it is well documented that both preservice and in-service teachers feel unprepared to teach emergent bilinguals in their classrooms (Correll, 2016). This creates a demand for teacher education programs to better prepare teachers to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students. In this presentation, the presenter will share 10 effective culturally and linguistically responsive strategies for teachers to use with diverse students in their classes.
