During this training, participants will explore the strategic use of play as a learning strategy. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the benefits of play for Dual Language Learners, including providing a safe space to take risks, share stories, and collaborate with peers to develop vocabulary. By the end of the session, participants will understand their responsibility to plan for and create environments that are inclusive of diverse learners and communities.
Self-paced Course
In this course, participants will examine the science behind dual language learning. It is important for ECE educators to understand how and why the early years are a critical time for language and literacy development for young dual-language learners. Participants will also examine the importance of early experiences in supporting early brain architecture for dual language learners.
Self-paced Course
In this course, participants will review definition of bilingualism and other related key terms. It is important for ECE educators to understand bilingualism and the process for children learning more than one language. Participants will identify the benefits of bilingualism when languages learned are being consistently used and supported in the child’s home and school setting.
