By the end of this workshop, participants will be equipped with a deep understanding of the essential elements required to design and sustain equitable multilingual learning environments. They will leave with practical strategies, resources, and a renewed commitment to fostering language equity and inclusive education for all students in their schools.
This session highlights the importance of language equity beyond the classroom walls. Attendees will explore ways to engage the entire school community, including administrators, staff, families, and community members, in supporting multilingual learners and fostering an inclusive language environment. The content will focus on language equity beyond individual classrooms. Participants will learn how to create a school-wide culture that promotes multilingualism, language diversity, and equitable opportunities for language development.

This session aims to equip participants with a comprehensive linguistic equity toolkit to use in their classrooms. This toolkit will include various translanguaging approaches, ways to promote language equity in multilingual classrooms, and centering collaboration as the key element in creating equitable learning spaces.
