Dual Language/Bilingual Childhood General Education (grades 1 through 6)
|
|
|
This 45-credit program in Dual Language/Bilingual Childhood General Education is designed for bilingual (Spanish/English) teachers and prospective educators who wish to work in bilingual and/or dual-language classrooms with students in grades 1 through 6. You will explore the academic, social and political issues surrounding the education of children for whom English is a new or second language. Through study of rich curriculum development and classroom management techniques, you will develop a wide teaching repertoire and an understanding of the needs of children. In turn, you will learn to create supportive learning environments that value cultural heritage and dual-language development.
Spanish-speaking children enter the elementary school classroom with varying levels of English proficiency. You will learn to provide rich curricular experiences in a bilingual or dual-language format that respects the native language and at the same time teaches fluency in English. Through interactive discussions and hands-on classroom experiences, you will develop a deep understanding of the wide range of academic, intellectual, linguistic and emotional needs of bilingual students. In fieldwork, you will learn to implement the specific skills needed to work effectively in traditional bilingual and dual-language settings.
Special attention will be paid to learning to work in urban settings. In collaboration with parents (both Spanish- and English-speaking), colleagues and the community, you will learn to act as an advocate for the children you teach.
