Ep. 194: Exploring Models for Teaching English Learners
Description
We discuss various models for teaching English learners to read with Magdalena Zavalia, CEO of the PAF Reading Program. We explore different types of models, including monolingual programs, transitional bilingual education, and dual language immersion. Magdalena emphasizes the importance of understanding students' needs and goals when implementing a dual language program. She also discusses the challenges and considerations for teachers and principals, including resources, professional development, curriculum, and scheduling. Magdalena highlights the benefits of dual language instruction for both native English speakers and English learners.
