PREFACE:
This space has been created for educators, leadership / administrator teams, parents, city officials, youth advocates and attendees of “Talk to Children Like People: Seeking Equity Through Language Rich Classrooms” as a forum for sharing experiences and reflections as they work through these resources. On this page, we invite and encourage you to share your experiences and reflections, ideas and insights and engage with others to create classroom environments where children are exposed to high quality language in varying forms.
While these resources are intended to offer a foundation on the subject of language rich classrooms, our list is not intended to be exhaustive and we welcome suggestions to other potential resources.
With our next event on April 7th, 2018 titled “Talk to Children Like People: Seeking Equity Through Language-Rich Classrooms” along with both the provided and suggested resources on this page, we hope readers will not limit themselves to teaching colors, letters and shapes. But instead, create a classroom in which adults share their experiences, ideas, and feelings with children throughout the day.
