Write On! GLAD en español: Empowering Biliteracy Through Writing

Join us for Write On! GLAD en español, a transformative workshop designed specifically for dual language teachers. This workshop is rooted in the powerful principles of Guided Language Acquisition Design (GLAD) and focuses on unlocking the full linguistic repertoire of every student to accelerate biliteracy and writing development.

We believe that a student's existing knowledge and skills in one language are incredible assets for acquiring and developing another. In this workshop, you'll learn to:

• Deepen your understanding of cross-linguistic connections and how to intentionally leverage them in your instruction.

• Master practical GLAD strategies adapted for Spanish-speaking contexts to enhance writing across content areas.

• Design engaging, biliterate writing activities that foster critical thinking, creativity, and self-expression in both English and Spanish.

• Cultivate a supportive and enriching classroom environment where students feel empowered to embrace their full linguistic identities as writers.
