CARLA SUMMER INSTITUTE: Teaching Language Through the Lens of Social Justice

This institute will provide language educators with tools and resources to transform their curriculum and instruction to emphasize inclusive, justice- and equity-based language teaching. Drawing on social justice education frameworks, participants will collaborate with colleagues to revise, extend, and expand standards, objectives, activities, and assessments for a unit or a segment of instruction. 

This institute is appropriate for educators who are just getting started with critical or social justice approaches to language teaching and learning as well as those who have had previous experience or professional development. Participants will leave with a unit of instruction as well as other units, lessons, texts, materials, and resources that integrate language learning objectives with those related to identity, diversity, equity, justice, and action.

This is a 1-week, in-person summer institute held at the University of Minnesota. Participants must be able to attend from 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
