Language Equity Among Multilingual Learners in Early Childhood Classrooms: Lessons from a Research Practice Partnership
California’s early elementary classrooms include significant numbers of children raised in multilingual environments. Multilingual learners face inequitable access to linguistically rich instruction, resulting in persistent disparities in language abilities and overrepresentation in special education. Teachers, administrators, parents, and policy makers are seeking effective ways to reduce achievement gaps and more equitably support learning and development for multilingual learners in monolingual classrooms. This session explores the experiences of young multilingual learners in California’s public school classrooms to identify research-based pedagogy and classroom practices that can effectively create more equitable ...
