Strengthening Equity and Effectiveness for Teachers of English Learners

December 6, 2021

SEE-TEL Preparing Pre-Service Teachers in Cooperation with UMSL’s COE ‘Grand Seminars’

Drs. Kim Song, Greg Child, Nicole King, and Dawn Thieman have been working hard to prepare pre-service teachers at UMSL. This past August and September, they were the keynote speakers at UMSL’s College of Education Grand Seminars. For nearly 200 pre-service teachers and their course and practicum instructors, they provided professional development on:

  • Immigration trends
  • The diverse personhood of immigrants and refugees
  • Cultural identities as seen and unseen components of an ‘iceberg’
  • Translanguaging
  • Raciolinguistic ideologies
  • Revising and crafting Content Enhanced Language Objectives
  • Implementing translingual and transmodal units
  • And more!

Here are some of the comments from the attendees after the reading and discussing these texts:

Also, check out one the translingual and transmodal units that groups created to culminate their learning:

The team anticipates continuing this work in Spring 2022.
