CLAVES
As part of the Caminos expansion to the secondary schools, educators from the Browne Middle School and Chelsea High participated in CLAVES® training to continue building their capacity to be bilingual educators. The two cohorts that first participated in the training in June had the opportunity to deepen their learning with a focus on cross-linguistic connections and strategies that support multilingual learners. A third cohort of educators engaged in their initial introduction to the CLAVES framework. To wrap up a week of learning, educators participated in VISITAS, a structured protocol, to observe and highlight these instructional practices in action, strengthening the connection between the professional learning and classroom implementation.
Contextualized Learning for Access, Validation, Equity, and Success – CLAVES®.
CLAVES® is a framework that provides the professional learning needed to cultivate an equitable environment in classrooms and schools where each student, especially Multilingual learners or English Learners, has access to contextualized content and language, while validating their individual identity and educational agency.
