Bilingualtek: An Integrated Science-Language Approach for Latinx Preschoolers
Young children engaged in observation, experimentation, exploration, and conversations about their natural world can synergistically develop science and language skills (Lee, 2018). In this poster presentation we discuss the iterative development and results from the initial pilot of Bilingualtek’s instructional approach. This project integrates cultural-linguistically-responsive science-language instruction designed for classroom implementation by monolingual Head Start preschool teachers of Latino/a dual-language-learners.
