Description: What does the most current neuroscience, biliteracy and translanguaging research say about teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Emergent Bilingual learners how to read? What are the factors that facilitate and roadblocks that inhibit Emergent Bilingual students from learning how to read in English? What must a school district do prior to implementing the Science of Reading policies, procedures, processes, and programs? Using Mind-Brain-Health-Education Science (MBHE) principles, neurobiology of bilingualism and biliteracy research, EL Program guidelines, and four decades of teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse learners as her foundation, Jo Gusman will answer these questions. She will also share her innovative and effective language and literacy curriculum and instruction frameworks, processes and strategies for enhancing ELA/Reading and English Language Development (ELD) instruction for English learners at all levels of English language proficiency (ELP).
