Download or read book Critical Consciousness in Dual Language Bilingual Education written by Lisa M. Dorner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features case studies that address dual language bilingual education (DLBE) programs, which offer content instruction in two languages to help youth develop fluent bilingualism/biliteracy, high academic achievement, and sociocultural competence. While increasingly popular, the DLBE model is a framework that comes with unique hurdles and challenges. Applying a pioneering critical consciousness approach, the volume provides readers with narratives, awareness, and tools to support culturally and linguistically diverse students and their families. Organized around four major areas—policy, leadership, family and community engagement, teaching and teacher learning—the volume’s case studies bring together stories from policymakers, educational leaders, family and community members, and teachers. The case studies spotlight examples in which power imbalances have been identified and shifted through critically conscious actions and offer insight into how to ensure all DLBE programs are nurturing, empowering, multilingual environments for all students, particularly racialized, immigrant, and transnational students. Accessible and varied, the case studies address important topics such as anti-Black racism, digital access, disability, school-district relations, working with undocumented families, and more. Each chapter includes a case narrative, teaching notes, discussion questions, and/or teaching activities to support stakeholders who wish to develop and enact equity in their DLBE policies, classrooms, and professional development. A key resource for supporting student needs and transformative inquiry in the classroom, this book is ideal for graduate students, professors, leaders, educators, and other stakeholders in bilingual education and language education.

Download or read book Bilingualism for All written by Nelson Flores and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is common for scholarly and mainstream discourses on dual language education in the US to frame these programs as inherently socially transformative and to see their proliferation in recent years as a natural means of developing more anti-racist spaces in public schools. In contrast, this book adopts a raciolinguistic perspective that points to the contradictory role that these programs play in both reproducing and challenging racial hierarchies. The book includes 11 chapters that adopt a range of methodological techniques (qualitative, quantitative and textual), disciplinary perspectives (linguistics, sociology and anthropology) and language foci (Spanish, Hebrew and Korean) to examine the ways that dual language education programs in the US often reinforce the racial inequities that they purport to challenge.

Download or read book Feeling Their Way Towards Justice written by Rachel Snyder Bhansari and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary bilingual education programs in the U.S. today are troubled by many racial and linguistic inequities (Snyder, 2020). In order to navigate these complex program environments and make choices in their daily teaching, novice teachers must develop a critical awareness of power and its manifestation in classroom environments. Recent research has suggested that this awareness, or critical consciousness should be a central aspect of teaching and learning in all bilingual programs (Palmer et al., 2019). Currently, the field of education knows little about how such a consciousness develops, how it is manifested or how it is connected to everyday classroom experiences. My dissertation study utilized a critical ethnographic approach (Madison, 2005) to engage novice dual language teachers in a collaborative exploration of the daily experience of critical consciousness. I engaged in participant observation, semi-structured interviews and collective critical reflection group meetings to gather qualitative evidence of teachers’ embodied critical consciousness and its impacts in their practice. Findings indicate that critical consciousness enabled novice teachers to interpret, navigate and respond to systemic inequities in their new teaching environments. Furthermore, the teachers’ formulated a collective critical consciousness underpinning a shared culture of subversive teaching. These findings point to strong connections between critical consciousness, identity, emotion and social justice oriented pedagogies. The study also illuminates the potential of shared critique to foster transformative approaches to bilingual education.

Download or read book A Critical Examination of Dual language Science Educators written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores how K-8 critically conscious dual-language science teachers (CCDLSTs) working with bilingual learners (BLs) practice their critical consciousness via the four tenets of dual-language education: ideological clarity, pedagogical perspective and clarity, access for all, and equitable spaces (IPAE). This study is informed by the main research question: How are the IPAE tenets manifested in K-8 CCDLSTs’ daily classroom practice? Previous research offers limited information on how dual-language science teachers practice their critical consciousness. Given the era of Common Core State Standards and the number of BLs left with underprepared teachers, this study advances understanding of what CCDLSTs are doing in classrooms to draw on the assets of BLs. A phenomenological design was used to gather interview and observational data of how six CCDLSTs employed a critically conscious pedagogy in a dual-language setting while creating access to science content, with equity at the core. Findings include research-based examples of the instructional processes CCDLSTs used in their classrooms and how they planned and implemented science lessons inclusive of the IPAE tenets.

Download or read book Teacher Leadership for Social Change in Bilingual and Bicultural Education written by Deborah K. Palmer and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership takes on a tone of urgency when we are struggling for justice. At the same time, the right to lead – the agency to embrace a leadership identity – can also feel more distant when we are marginalized by the dominant society. For bilingual education teachers working with immigrant communities, the development of critical consciousness, pride in the cultural and linguistic resources of the bilingual community, the vocabulary to name and face marginalization, and a strong professional network are fundamental to their development of professional identities as leaders and advocates. Based on the experiences of 53 Spanish-English bilingual teachers in Central Texas, this book aims to explore, define, and understand bilingual teacher leadership. It merges the themes of leadership, teacher preparation and bilingual education and is essential reading for bilingual or ESL teachers, teacher educators and researchers serving an increasingly transnational/translingual student body.

Download or read book A Critical Race Ethnography Examining Dual language Education in the New Latinx Diaspora written by Laura Carolina Cha̹vez-Moreno and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual language (DL) is an increasingly popular bilingual education model, touted for its promise to mitigate the historical achievement gap of the growing Latinx population while also teaching Spanish to English speakers. While DL programs may alleviate Latinxs' educational disparities in some cases, recent scholarship has noted a paradox: in other cases, programs that enroll White students unintentionally exacerbate inequalities. Because white supremacy also permeates liberal contexts and programs, such as bilingual education, studying the DL paradox from a critical race theory perspective may prove insightful. Bridging the fields of bilingual education and critical race studies, this project investigates how white supremacy operates in two schools with a DL program meant to address disparities in its growing Latinx population. The two-year critical race ethnography examined the racial and raciolinguistic ideologies undergirding the DL program's policies and classroom practices. Data included documents, observations of community meetings, classroom observations and post-observation discussions with teachers, and interviews. My findings and analysis contribute to five sets of important conversations: (a) who benefits from DL in new Latinx destinations; (b) teachers' racial literacy pedagogy, and DL enhancing youth's sociopolitical critical consciousness; (c) teachers' conceptions of DL's cultural relevancy and understandings of Latinxs' underperformance; (d) antiblackness in DL and the discursive (op)positioning of Latinx and Black students; and (e) Latinx racialization. Based on my research, I propose four theorizations: (a) dual language as white property; (b) deracinating bilingual education; (c) intrinsically culturally relevant; and (d) antiblack raciolinguistic ideologies in dual-language education. As a collective, my theorizations contribute to understanding white supremacy's manifestations in liberal spaces vis-aÌ0-vis whiteness and antiblackness, and the specificity of Latinidad. Additionally, my conclusion enjoins readers to consider bilingual education as a racializing project. By exposing how DL perpetuates, exacerbates, and/or contests racial inequalities, my research explains how and why DL may fall short of its stated outcomes, and how to improve programs with social justice goals more generally. The study's implications invite educators to reimagine what bilingual education as a political project must do to fulfill the promise of educational justice for students.
