On Saturday, March 2, META (Multilingual Educators Transforming Achievement) is inviting educators in the Central Valley of California to join them for a day of “learning, collaborating, networking, and celebrating” as they “explore the critical importance of identity development and investment in ensuring success for Emergent Multilingual Learners”.
The keynote speaker is Jim Cummins and presenters include Rosa Molina, Ana DeGenna, and Aracely Fox.
The event will also honor Tove Skutnabb-Kangas, a Finnish linguist and educator who coined the term “linguicism”, which refers to “ideologies and structures which are used to legitimate, effectuate, and reproduce unequal division of power and resources (both material and non-material) between groups which are defined on the basis of language”.
META is the Stanislaus County chapter of the California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE).
