Contextualized Learning for Access, Validation, Equity and Success – CLAVES®
About CLAVES®
The CLAVES® framework consists of professional learning that is:
- Focused on improving and building teacher skills for classroom practice
- Mediated through a learning community
- Led by a skilled and knowledgeable leader
- Focused on the everyday work and practices of classroom teachers
- Data-informed and evidence-based
The CLAVES® Framework is organized so that participants have the opportunity for new learning, practice, and reflection. It can be utilized across all content and grade levels.
The key beliefs that serve as a foundation of CLAVES® are that multilingual learners:
- Deserve equitable access to content and language development.
- Have linguistic and cultural assets that are validated and built upon in all aspects of their school community.
The specific objectives for participants are:
- To build shared knowledge of how to create an equitable learning environment through access to language and culture, and validation of identity.
- To build shared knowledge of the CLAVES® Pathways.
