Description:
Bank Street’s programs in Dual Language/Bilingual Education are designed for
bilingual (Spanish/English) teachers and prospective educators who wish to
work in bilingual and/or dual-language classrooms with students in Early
Childhood (birth through grade 2), Childhood (grades 1 through 6), or Middle
School (grades 5 through 9) classrooms. You will explore the academic,
social and political issues surrounding the education of children for whom
English is a new or second language. Through study of rich curriculum
development and classroom management techniques, you will develop a wide
teaching repertoire and an understanding of the needs of children. In turn,
you will learn to create supportive learning environments that value
cultural heritage and dual-language development.
Spanish-speaking children enter the classroom with varying levels of
English proficiency. You will learn to provide rich curricular experiences
in a bilingual or dual-language format that respects the native language and
at the same time teaches fluency in English. Through interactive discussions
and hands-on classroom experiences, you will develop a deep understanding of
the wide range of academic, intellectual, linguistic and emotional needs of
bilingual students. In fieldwork, you will learn to implement the specific
skills needed to work effectively in traditional bilingual and dual-language
settings.
Special attention will be paid to learning to work in urban settings. In
collaboration with parents (both Spanish- and English-speaking), colleagues
and the community, you will learn to act as an advocate for the children you
teach.
