Instructional Strategies for Preschool Teachers of Dual Language Learners
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Early Care & Education team of the Office of the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools (FCSS) will be offering four (4) professional learning modules on how to design a high-quality dual language preschool program. FCSS will utilize lessons learned from the piloting of our dual-language preschool program of the Lighthouse for Children Child Development Center (LFC CDC), which stems from a unique collaboration between FCSS and First 5 Fresno County. The center is operated by FCSS and serves as a demonstration site and innovation lab for early childhood professionals and students. It offers observation areas and on-site training opportunities to learn about the program’s approach to high-quality care and utilization of a blended-funding model, provides home language support for dual language learners in all classrooms and includes a dual-language preschool class that utilizes a 50/50 language model.
