A website for the 2022 summer institute co-led by Prof. Margaret Boyle, “Identity and Multilingualism through Picture Books,” is now live. The two-week NEH-sponsored institute, designed for 29 K-3 elementary teachers, will focus on pedagogical approaches to language learning through an equity lens, engaging with narrative form and structure (translation, multilingualism, code-switching) as well as visual construction (illustrations of race, ethnicity and culture as well as modes of interacting with book format). The seminar will be offered in a combined format: one week of virtual synchronous and asynchronous content July 4-8, 2022 in preparation for one-week of in-person, hands-on learning experiences to be held July 11-15, 2022 at Bates College in Lewiston, ME.
