THREE LIVE VIRTUAL MODULES
3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
HOSTED BY ESMERALDA ESPERICUETA, CABE LEAD SPECIALIST
This session equips educators to effectively plan and implement cross-linguistic transfer in dual language settings. Participants will explore key concepts, including the differences between translanguaging, codeswitching, interlanguage, translation, and cross-linguistic transfer.
This session covers foundational concepts, an introduction to The Bridge with practice, and guidance on planning. It also highlights how to embed sociocultural competence within cross-linguistic instruction. By the end of the session, participants will have developed a deeper understanding of cross-linguistic transfer and strategies for integrating standards, vocabulary, and cross-linguistic connections into upcoming units.
Deepen your understanding and practice of ELD instruction for dual language classrooms. This session will guide you through implementing effective strategies, lesson planning, and differentiation. Participants will explore the foundations of both designated and integrated ELD, with a focus on an effective ELD lesson cycle model.
Building on this foundation, they will learn cross-linguistic transfer strategies, plan for differentiation, and view example lessons. They will leave with a deep understanding of how to plan effective ELD lessons and apply tools to support their students’ individual language needs.
This session supports teachers in dual language classrooms with instructional tools to develop students’ academic language in both English and Spanish while supporting sociocultural competence. It presents research-based strategies for using language development standards, as well as integrated and designated Spanish Language Development (SLD).
Teachers will explore multicultural resources to enhance academic language development and cross-linguistic connections. The session also encourages reflection on the value of home languages and the linguistic decisions bilinguals make, while offering strategies for differentiated instruction and assessing students’ linguistic abilities.

Cultivating Success for Multilingual English Learners
3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
In this session, educators will explore strategies for creating inclusive classrooms that honor students’ cultural and linguistic identities while advancing language development and academic achievement.
Participants will learn how to connect instruction to students’ lived experiences, scaffold rigorous content, and foster engagement through culturally and linguistically responsive practices.
In this session, participants will explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles intersect with effective English Language Development (ELD) strategies to support multilingual learners, including those who are dually identified.
Through interactive activities, sample lessons, and reflection, participants will learn how to design inclusive learning environments that honor students’ linguistic and cultural assets, differentiate instruction, and promote equitable access to learning for all. By the end, participants will have developed a deeper understanding on how UDL can be used to specifically support multilingual learners and strategies they can use in their classroom.
In this session, participants will learn effective strategies for scaffolding rigorous academic content, accelerating the development of academic vocabulary, and embedding language development across the curriculum. Through interactive online discussions and collaborative activities, educators will gain practical tools to design instruction that builds both academic language and content knowledge.
The session will also highlight ways to integrate designated and integrated ELD with grade-level texts and tasks, increase student engagement through culturally and linguistically responsive scaffolding, and use formative assessment data to identify and address language and literacy gaps.
