This fund supports the innovative work of the Dynamic Languaging Collaborative. DLC is an interdisciplinary group of researchers, educators, students, and community members focused on connecting theory and practice to codesign linguistically sustaining learning environments across PreK-16 educational settings. Linguistically sustaining learning environments foster and elevate students’ full repertoire of language and multi-modal practices as critical dignity-conferring resources that belong permanently across classroom learning and assessment. This happens through deliberately making space for translanguaging and supporting the development of critical language awareness across learning ecosystems. The Collaborative conducts research, designs educational resources, and leads professional learning for PreK-16 educators.
