Be the very first to preview and unpack the district’s brand-new, non-evaluative Biliteracy Look-For Tool! This session introduces a groundbreaking resource designed explicitly for instructional leaders to spark supportive coaching conversations and cultivate authentic bilingual excellence across all classrooms teaching for biliteracy. Participants will unpack the core "Biliteracy Essentials" to understand the immediate entry points for supporting teachers and students across foundational skills, reading, and writing. Through real CPS school-based examples and video walkthroughs, leaders will practice using the tool to gather data and drive impactful coaching conversations. Attendees will leave equipped to immediately implement this fresh resource to elevate instructional practices that value and develop students' full linguistic repertoires.
