Advancing Literacy

Teachers College Advancing Literacy received a grant from the Vice President's Grant for Diversity & Community Initiatives (DCI) for our Symposium on Multilingual Learning and Multiliteracies! 

We are excited to partner with our TC faculty advisor Dr. María Paula Ghiso, Department Chair of Curriculum and Teaching and Literacy Specialist Program Co-Director, and Dr. Patricia Martínez Álvarez, Department Chair of Arts and Humanities and Program Director of Bilingual/Bicultural Education, on exploring this important topic. 

This cross-department collaboration explored research in multiliteracies, in culturally responsive teaching, and in creating communities of care and belonging.  The collaborative aims to offer a symposium in July on multiliteracies and multilingual learning.
