The Guiding Principles and the Critical Third Pillar: Socio-Cultural Competence
Please consult the event program for date, time and location.
In the Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education 3rd edition, an emphasis has been placed on the importance of socio-cultural competence for program success. DL Programs serve as fertile ground for the kind of socio-cultural introspection needed in our society today. Participants will look at ways that socio-cultural competence impacts every Guiding Principle strand. Finally, the audience will be encouraged to reflect on the possibility of adding a fourth pillar to move staff, families, communities and students to adopt a more socially critical consciousness.
