Last week, the Colorado Association of Bilingual Education held their annual conference and CU Denver was in the house! Dras. Lucinda Soltero-González and Tania Hogan are both on the CABE board of directors and their presence and leadership was evident throughout the conference. Approximately twenty current and former MA CLDE students attended the conference. Several of the SEHD faculty presented their work: Children’s books that address cultural and socio-emotional topics: When is the right time to read them? Sally Nathenson-Mejia & Maria Uribe; The End of Chat: re-establishing student discourse as the norm, Chris Carson; Humanizing Pedagogies with Multilingual Learners, Nancy Commins & Kara Viesca; Leading the way in formative language assessment: Teachers and students together, Liz Mahon. Marlinda Hines helped us with our virtual exhibitor booths and the lucky raffle winners received SEHD Lynx socks. Gracias, Marlinda. Gracias también a Serwaa, Julia and Daisy S. This is all to say: Viva la educación bilingüe y viva la CU Denver!
