Back by popular demand and updated with new content! This virtual institute is open to all educators and leaders interested in strengthening their implementation of the Bridge for biliteracy. Whether you’re deep into dual language instruction or just beginning to integrate the Bridge into your practice, this session offers clarity, guidance and tools, and support for ensuring students engage in transfer and contrastive analysis.

Participants will:

  • Review the Biliteracy Unit Framework and the three linguistic spaces of biliteracy instruction: Spanish (or a non-English language), English, and the Bridge and its two purposes
  • Deepen their understanding of the Bridge as a key component of biliteracy instruction
  • Distinguish between the Bridge (as a pedagogical moment focused on transfer and contrastive analysis) and bridging (cross-linguistic connections)
  • Explore strategies to implement the Bridge more intentionally and consistently across content areas
  • Engage in interactive activities and small group discussions focused on implementation, challenges and solutions
  • Leave with resources and tools to support next steps in your schools and programs

Daily Schedule

Live sessions: 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Central Time (each day)
