Multidimensional and Burgeoning Leadership: Literacy and Multilingualism
This design-based research study worked with 25 teachers with specialized early literacy training. Researchers investigated the impact of professional development advancing their multilingual learner (ML), literacy, and leadership capacity, addressing gaps in the research merging the fields of literacy, multilingual instruction, and leadership. Spanning two years of both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis including teacher,…
It All Comes Full Circle”: The Impact of Multilingual Literacy Pedagogies With Teachers, Students, and Families
This study examines how sustained professional development (PD) in multilingual literacy pedagogies shapes teacher's pedagogical practices and interactions with students and caregivers. Situated in a high‐needs district in the Southeastern U.S., the PD was embedded in a two‐year online MEd program with a cohort of 23 teachers, paired with a caregiver literacy course for multilingual families. Using a case study approach, we closely analyzed two f…
Escaping Inequity: A Digital Escape Room Professional Development for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
In this design‐based research study, in‐service educators participated in a grant‐funded professional development (PD) project to increase district capacity for multilingual learner instruction. Initial data indicated teacher comfort with technology but difficulty tailoring it to the unique multiliterate practices of culturally and linguistically diverse students. Based on teachers' needs and a departmental goal, a modification of a digital escap…
Bridging the knowledge gap: Professional development connecting educators and caregivers of multilingual learners
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the professional growth of a cohort of teachers working with multilingual learners (MLs) during an MEd program and their recommendations for the development of a literacy course for ML caregivers. In addition, this study explores whether the school district capacity supports teacher growth, as reflected through district representatives’ feedback. Design/methodology/approach This design-based researc…
Evolution of teachers’ perspectives on family engagement: Building dual capacity for multilingual learners
Family engagement in multilingual learner education offers benefits associated with improved academic performance, stronger parent-teacher communication, and more inclusivity of cultural and linguistic diversity. Responding to calls for professional development that enables teachers to meaningfully involve families, this paper draws from surveys and course assignments to examine how teachers expanded their perceptions about the incorporation of m…
From awareness to action: Caregivers’ roles in multilingual learners’ literacy development
This design-based research study, grounded in the theoretical framework of dual capacity building, explored the impact of a literacy course on multilingual learners’ caregivers, focusing on their knowledge and self-efficacy in supporting their children’s literacy development. Findings revealed a collaborative process between caregivers and researchers, where caregivers contributed insights into their learning needs and influenced the course’s dev…
Multilingual teaching and digital tools: The intersections of new media literacies and language learning
Purpose Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) can create participatory cultures by removing barriers to access materials, encouraging student modes of expression, differentiating student interactions through digital environments and increasing learner autonomy. Participatory cultures require competencies or new media literacy (NML) skills to be successful in a digital world. However, professional development (PD) often lacks training on CALL…
Multicultural perspectives on building instructional capacity for multilingual learners: Synergy of Teachers, Community Members, and Academics
This design-based research study explored the feedback process, resulting actions, and changing instructional perspectives involving teachers, community members, and researchers leading to enhanced professional development offered to K-12 teachers of multilingual students. Specifically, the feedback from a community advisory council and teachers significantly shaped researchers’ approaches to designing and adapting a literacy course to address th…
