Our Journey in Bridging Biliteracy at the Rafael Hernández PreK-8 Dual Language School
Abstract
This session chronicles the journey the Rafael Hernández PreK-8 Dual Language School has taken to implement a cohesive Bridging instructional approach. Bridging is a student-centered, teacher-designed approach that allows for bilingual students to build metalinguistic connections across both languages. After attending the MABE 2016 Conference, we designed and launched a school-wide Phased Bridging Implementation Process to explore, align, and integrate Bridging strategies to support the Spanish and English language development of our bilingual learners.
