This hour webinar was recorded live in December 2020. The webinar,  "Social Justice Education in the Multilingual Classroom: A Framework for Anti-Bias and Language Rich Instruction" was part of the ICMEE Racial Justice Series. In this webinar, I present an overview of how educators can use the Teaching Tolerance Social Justice Standards and the WIDA Can Do Descriptors in tandem to plan anti-bias and language rich literacy instruction. This talk was catered for pre- and in- service PK-12 teachers of multilingual learners and include tangible steps and ideas for lesson and unit planning.
