This book features case studies that address dual language bilingual
education (DLBE) programs, which offer content instruction in two
languages to help youth develop fluent bilingualism/biliteracy, high
academic achievement, and sociocultural competence. While increasingly
popular, the DLBE model is a framework that comes with unique hurdles
and challenges. Applying a pioneering critical consciousness approach,
the volume provides readers with narratives, awareness, and tools to
support culturally and linguistically diverse students and their
families. Organized around four major areas—policy, leadership,
family and community engagement, teaching and teacher learning—the
volume’s case studies bring together stories from policymakers,
educational leaders, family and community members, and teachers. The
case studies spotlight examples in which power imbalances have been
identified and shifted through critically conscious actions and offer
insight into how to ensure all DLBE programs are nurturing,
empowering, multilingual environments for all students, particularly
racialized, immigrant, and transnational students. Accessible and
varied, the case studies address important topics such as anti-Black
racism, digital access, disability, school-district relations, working
with undocumented families, and more. Each chapter includes a case
narrative, teaching notes, discussion questions, and/or teaching
activities to support stakeholders who wish to develop and enact
equity in their DLBE policies, classrooms, and professional
development. A key resource for supporting student needs and
transformative inquiry in the classroom, this book is ideal for
graduate students, professors, leaders, educators, and other
stakeholders in bilingual education and language education.
