Description

In response to the actual bilingual teacher shortage, we share findings from a mixed methods study to better prepare pre-service bilingual teacher candidates to enact culturally and linguistically inclusive pedagogies to support bilingualism, to enhance language competencies in Spanish needed to advance biliteracies, and to develop resiliency and agency to persist in the program and achieve bilingual teacher certification.
