Program Summary/Abstract Description

Dual Language programs must be created as catalysts for change in a concerted effort to shift the national narrative on first and second language learning and learners. Dual Language programs require that school and district leaders examine their fundamental knowledge of their programs alongside their leadership identities, missions, purposes, and visions in their schools and districts. The speaker will engage participants in a discussion about whether their leadership practices offer students optimal opportunities to learn languages in culturally responsive environments. She will ask school leaders to think critically about how they perceive their own leadership worth, create equitable school policy for the implementation of their programs, and analyze their value as leaders of their school communities. Do your leadership practices ensure that equity through formal second language study abounds for all students?
