cultural modeling along with some new ideas she incorporated.

Abstract:

This symposium offers four studies that examine language in urban contexts.
Each study explores the richness and complexity of the setting, its actors,
their goals, and available cultural tools that interact to expand and shape
how urban youth construct meanings. Importantly, for this symposium, each
study recognizes the promises and challenges of developing new, critical
pedagogies from students' languages for instructional and liberatory
purposes. However, the aim of this symposium is not merely to present new
instructional ideas on minority languages and literacies. It also seeks to
introduce radical inquiry into the ways teachers and teacher educators think
about language and literacy in general by shedding light upon our abiding
civic responsibility to understand and shape schools around all students'
words and worlds.
