LIVE WEBINARS: Critical Bilingual Literacies: From Language Ideologies to Teaching with Translingual Texts
The webinar series begins by guiding participants in applying a critical bilingual literacies approach in their teaching. Participants will also learn ways to design multimodal and translingual lessons to examine language practices and identities. Participants will then explore translanguaging in children's literature and apply a translingual lens in engaging with children's, middle-grade, and young adult literature. This series culminates by supporting participants in applying the En Comunidad reflecting and revising cycle in their pedagogy.
Join us on March 24th at 7:30 PM for the book launch party of Translanguaging and Transformative Teaching for Emergent Bilingual Students: Lessons from the CUNY-NYSIEB Project written by the CUNY-NYSIEB team!
We will be discussing our chapter on Translanguaging Literacies in Latinx Children’s Literature! Free registration here.

Creating and Sustaining a School Culture that Celebrates Translanguaging in Lives, Teaching, and Curriculum
Drs. Carla España and Luz Yadira Herrera will share ways to celebrate bilingualism and multilingualism across the school year. School leaders will leave with ways to set up sustainable structures for this work from lesson planning support, curriculum, and professional learning opportunities. Participants will also engage with texts and examples from school leaders, teachers, and bilingual/multilingual children that can be used with faculty to support language-minoritized students' dynamic language use and identities.

Siempre Bilingüe Virtual Summit Keynote and Workshop
San Antonio Independent School District
Keynote description: In this keynote, Drs. España and Herrera will discuss the urgency of enacting and growing critical bilingual literacies. The keynote will weave threads across inquiries of language ideologies, curriculum, and pedagogy that consider ways we can create spaces for translanguaging across learning spaces and our lives.
Breakout Session Description
In this workshop, Drs. España and Herrera will guide participants in enacting a Temas, Textos, and Translanguaging approach to building community and critical consciousness with bilingual/multilingual students in bilingual and ESL settings. They will also discuss how educators can enact culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogical approaches using translingual children's, middle-grade, and young adult literature. Attendees will leave with examples of sequences of lessons, texts, and guiding prompts to continue this planning with colleagues.
