2025 MABE Dual Language Bilingual Education Conference

In Dual Language and Bilingual Education programs, our goal is to develop bilingual and biliterate students who can reach academic proficiency and encompass the socio-cultural competence and critical consciousness to be positive contributors in communities. However, we often have to guess how well we are reaching that goal. In this session, we will explore ways we can measure towards bilingualism and biliteracy while considering the learning tools we choose to use. Participants will review the type of data that is currently used or is missing and make a plan for data-informed practices that will increase bilingualism and biliteracy in students.
