Title: Stipend - Strengthening Biliteracy Instruction (Caminos K-12 Professional Learning Team) (Kelly) (SY26-27)
Location: Kelly School Room K101
Reports To: MLE Director and Assistant Director - Dr. Alberto Carrero, Mrs. Alma Pezo.
GENERAL DUTIES: The 2026-2027 Camino’s K-8 Professional Learning Team will engage in a study of biliteracy instruction in order to provide access to HQIM for DL schools. The principles and key points identified in Strand 3: Instruction from the Center for Applied Linguistics Guiding Principles of Dual Language Education (GPDLE) will serve as a key resource for learning, self reflection, and continual improvement as well as the resources from DL of New Mexico. Together, teachers from across the three program schools will build a shared understanding of biliteracy practices including integrating language and content instruction, using pedagogical strategies to increase comprehension for bilingual learners, bridging language and content across and within classrooms, and developing students' metacognitive awareness. Additionally, we will contextualize these practices within the HQIM Implementation. Participants will unpack current research on dual language curricula and work collectively to review and, as needed, draft recommendations for the Camino’s Leadership Team. Special attention to vertical alignment will be central to this working group as we use our collective energy to review our vision, mission, language allocation plans and program structures.
