Rooted in Language & Culture, Grounded with Radical Self-Care

Join Dr. Dorito for an interactive session that empowers educators of multilingual learners with practical strategies grounded in self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the core principle of teaching: YOU.

 Systematically Developing Literacy 

While many multilingual learners quickly develop social language, academic literacy often remains out of reach without intentional, explicit instruction. In this session, Tan shares classroom-based strategies for designing instruction that builds academic literacy, equipping teachers with practical approaches to scaffold multilingual learners’ ability to produce content-specific responses.

Remember the Time

The Lessons of Resilience and Connection We Leave Behind

Teaching multilingual learners today requires not just instructional strategies but also the courage and steadiness to create conditions in which language development can thrive in uncertain times. In this session, Elise explores trauma-informed practices and the power of a regulated adult presence, showing how “regulate before we educate” can lower the affective filter and better support multilingual learners navigating stress and change.
