Exemplary Teaching Practices for Young DLLs in Three Program Types
Abstract
This presentation shares findings from a study of six exemplary preschool classrooms for young DLLs across three program types: public Pre-K, Head Start, and private programs. Drawing on interviews, observations, and videotaped model lessons, study findings show how exemplary teachers hold asset-oriented beliefs that drive intentional practices for young DLLs.
