TPE 16 - Biliteracy

Biliteracy Education

        Advanced certification in bi-literacy requires that I demonstrate proficiency in English and Spanish, and that I recognize how to adapt pedagogical theories, principles and instructional practices for bi-literacy programs, and continue to strive to become an expert in program design, curriculum development, and implementation of such for program effectiveness. This will be affected with a variety of cognitive, cultural, and language assessments that demonstrate success toward a goal of maintaining and enhancing students’ use of a primary language as a second language and as a means for acquiring the language of target to produce students who are proficient in two languages.

         The following artifacts are groups of lesson plans that show my abilities to design and develop and implement curriculum to meet these goals.

For example, Lesson Plan #2 and its accompanying script, ‘5 Fondo’s Culturales’

Shows my ability to adapt a variety of cultural reading passages to a ‘high interest’
