The College of Education and Q-Loop Productions debuted a new video about WOU\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Bilingual Teacher Scholars Program<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in late January \u2013 an ambitious program that aims to help Oregon\u2019s teaching force more closely match the state\u2019s increasingly diverse student demographics.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6aPqVkx_UgA&feature=youtu.be” _builder_version=”4.8.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text admin_label=”Story Text” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Mark Girod, Dean of the College of Education, said the video was produced with Oregon\u2019s ongoing legislative session in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWestern Oregon University wanted lawmakers in our state to be aware of the good work happening on our campus through the Bilingual Teacher Scholars<\/a> program as we seek to build an educator workforce that matches the demographics and cultural and linguistics assets of our K-12 students, families, and communities,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Maria Dantas-Whitney, a professor and coordinator of the program, said it uses a \u201cGrow-Your-Own\u201d model, a practice for recruiting, preparing, hiring and retaining culturally and linguistically diverse educators. WOU partners with school districts and community colleges across Oregon to recruit local students who aspire to become bilingual teachers, and who return to their communities as licensed educators upon graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n Girod said WOU regularly receives requests from other school districts across the state seeking to join this partnership program.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWestern is eager to expand but needs additional support to make sure appropriate scholarship money is available to students who want to become bilingual educators,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Dantas-Whitney said in addition to financial support, the program gives participants individualized support, leadership opportunities, professional development and connections to a supportive network of bilingual teacher mentors.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cImportantly, the curriculum emphasizes anti-bias, culturally responsive, and equity-driven practices that promote academic success,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n The video discusses the history and successes of the program, which was created in 2014, and suggests funding for the program under House Bill 3427, the Student Success Act, could have a powerful positive impact on Oregon students.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn short, the BTS program puts into practice the targets envisioned in HB 3427. We created this video to highlight the program\u2019s goals and successes, and to advocate for its support,\u201d said Dantas-Whitney.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Related Posts” module_class=”aks-section aks-blog-related-section” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_row module_class=”aks-content-container aks-content-container-row aks-row aks-blog-related-row” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ module_class=”aks-blog-related-col” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_code admin_label=”Related Posts (Heading)” module_class=”aks-mod aks-blog-related-head” _builder_version=”4.4.7″] Richard Woodcock Education Center<\/p>\n Phone: <\/strong>(503) 838-8471<\/p>\n Email: <\/strong>education@wou.edu<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.4.7″][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Divisions” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ background_layout=”dark”] The College of Education and Q-Loop Productions debuted a new video about WOU\u2019s Bilingual Teacher Scholars program in late January \u2013 an ambitious program that aims to help Oregon\u2019s teaching force more closely match the state\u2019s increasingly diverse student demographics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[114],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bts"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21338\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Related<\/h2>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_blog fullwidth=”off” posts_number=”3″ include_categories=”114″ use_manual_excerpt=”off” excerpt_length=”0″ show_author=”off” show_date=”off” show_categories=”off” show_excerpt=”off” show_pagination=”off” module_class=”aks-blog-related-mod” _builder_version=”4.5.6″ header_level=”h3″][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Blog Categories” module_class=”aks-section aks-all-cats-section” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_row module_class=”aks-content-container aks-content-container-row aks-row aks-all-cats-row” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_4″ admin_label=”Blog Categories” module_class=”aks-mod aks-all-cats-mod” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”COE Sites Footer” module_class=”aks-full-width aks-coe-footer” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ background_color=”#1f1f1f” global_module=”18810″ locked=”off” collapsed=”off”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”aks-content-container” _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text admin_label=”COE” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ background_layout=”dark”]
