  • maestracarrera May 15 @ 9:04 PM EDT

    A2: sociocultural competence is a goal of dual language education #d100chat
  • Ivetic4Piper May 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2: Sociocultural competence is pillar 3 because its the greatest part of speaking more than one language... you get to appreciate and learn new ways to look at the world...#d100chat
  • maestracarrera May 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2: It is 1 of the pillars to foster respect for the culture that again goes beyond translating. it helps elevate the status of the minority language #d100chat
  • mariana_nicasio May 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2: Sociocultural competence is a pillar of dual language because it is not enough to just be bilingual or billterate. One must also have a foundational understanding of a culture in order to truly understand and value it. #D100Chat
  • ani_asmith May 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: Sociocultural competence is not only being able to communicate or teach in a certain language. It is the ability to connect with a culture, understand that culture, and become part of that culture. #d100chat
  • JoseMedinaJr89 May 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Yes, so important to do the hard work that you describe. #d100chat
    In reply to @SarahGamradt
  • RobinSterrett May 15 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A.2 It is an important step in dual language to link concepts to students' personal, cultural, or academic experience. It provides a foundation: bkgrd knowldg and respect. #d100chat #teampershing
  • JoseMedinaJr89 May 15 @ 9:13 PM EDT

  • Ms_Bazz May 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: Ss & Ts regularly interact w/one another; having an understanding of diff cultures & being able 2 participate in convos w/ people that r diff than u is necessary. Being aware and making sure you are accepting should be a norm in todays classrooms. #d100chat #teampershing
  • JoseMedinaJr89 May 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Yes! Cross-linguistic connections! #D100Chat
    In reply to @laydenchi
  • mrsninan1 May 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: it's a pillar because it is a foundation of education, and needs to work side by side with biliteracy. It cannot be expected to simply be a result of dual language programs, but just as important. It's how we help foster global citizenship! #d100chat
  • _miss_carrillo May 15 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: As dual language educators, our goal has to be to enhance our students’ language and critical thinking skills they need to go out and become agents of change in our world. #d100chat

  • supermaestra8 May 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2: Because students in dual language programs are learning how to connect their culture and langue with other cultures and languages rather than looking at it as a difference. #d100chat
  • SarahGamradt May 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2: Our “social culture” has become global with the help of technology giving us the need and opportunity to cultivate mindful students in our dual language program who, in turn, share their knowledge with others that goes beyond the language and literacy. #d100chat
  • sciteachersci May 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2: It's one of the pillars b/c you can speak a language w/out knowing the culture of the people who use that language. It requires you to cultivate more than vocab! It requires intimate knowledge & appreciation for those immersed in that culture. #D100chat @JoseMedinaJr89
  • JodiMeyer21 May 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2. Sociocultural competence is the pillar that helps the other pillars succeed. It is one thing to teach biliteracy and bilingualism, it is another thing to teach respect and culture. Everyone needs to feel welcome and respected. #d100chat

  • JoseMedinaJr89 May 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Q2: Sociocultural competence is a must in every DL program. If all stakeholders don’t engage in dialogue about #bias, #prejudice, #privilege, and how to become more inclusive, we don’t really have dual language programs. #d100chat #duallanguagerocks
  • rheahegg May 15 @ 9:16 PM EDT

    In reply to @JodiMeyer21
  • jkruger927 May 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A.2 It is one of the pillars because in order for students to be truly dual they most accept and embrace both languages, culture and beliefs. One is not better than another, having both is stronger. #d100chat
  • JoseMedinaJr89 May 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    So true! Without Pillar 3, the others don’t exist! #d100chat
    In reply to @mrsninan1, @BeaMaldo310
  • BeaMaldo310 May 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    It's looking at the similarities and honing in on those versus focusing on the differences #bsdbiliteracy #d100chat
    • supermaestra8 May 15 @ 9:15 PM EDT
      A2: Because students in dual language programs are learning how to connect their culture and langue with other cultures and languages rather than looking at it as a difference. #d100chat

  • mrsforest May 15 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: One of the reasons I ❤️ the work of @RG1gal. The power of language: instead of ELL, it’s emergent bilinguals. Respecting language & culture, not deferring to the dominant, English speaking as an ideal, but valuing culture & language (esp in mathematics!) #d100chat

  • mariana_nicasio May 15 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A3: Sociocultural competence is embedded into all units throughout the school year. We celebrate our Latino cultures through learning about leaders such as Cesar Chavez, family celebrations such as Dia de los Muertos, and music through our own Mariachi! #D100Chat
  • Ivetic4Piper May 15 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A3: Creating lessons that students can view in both languages. For example, idioms in English would not make sense to an ELL however, finding Spanish idioms will showcase the concept of figurative language. #d100chat
  • travelynne04 May 15 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A3: Sociocultural competence is embedded in a kindergarten classroom through lots of conversations, modeling, repeating, and practicing. #d100chat
  • sciteachersci May 15 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A3: I speak Spanish & English when giving common directions. I will talk about Mexican foods/traditions that are similar to Amer. foods/trad. I acknowledge the beginning of Ramadan (today) so SS feel like I at least try to connect on these levels. #D100chat @JoseMedinaJr89
