This course prepares bilingual teacher candidates to apply research and theory on bilingual language and literacy development to support the language, literacy, and content learning of multilingual students in Spanish bilingual classrooms. Candidates are introduced to the history of bilingual education in California and the goals, opportunities, and challenges of different bilingual program models. Candidates will identify a focal student and use formative and summative assessment to learn about their language and literacy abilities in both Spanish and English. Based on this assessment analysis, candidates will engage in creating a lesson plan that supports their focal student's learning. Candidates learn how to leverage both languages and create interdisciplinary instruction that integrates content learning and language, formative and summative assessment, and literacy development in both Spanish and English. This course is taught primarily in Spanish. Prerequisites: Fluency with oral and written Spanish is required, at least at ACTFL intermediate-high level.
