Dual Language Literacy Consulting

Strengthen bilingual instruction. Build meaningful biliteracy.

We partner with elementary and secondary schools and districts to strengthen Spanish–English teaching through professional learning, instructional coaching, and context-responsive support for bilingual learners and English Learners.

Who We Support

Serving elementary through high school — across bilingual and ESL settings.

We work with schools and districts from kindergarten through 12th grade across a range of bilingual and ESL program models. Our consulting responds to each program's goals, grade level, and student population — not a single model applied everywhere.

Dual Language Education

Supporting two-way and one-way dual language programs in developing strong biliteracy and academic language in both Spanish and English — at the elementary and secondary levels.

Transitional Bilingual Education

Helping educators strengthen Spanish instruction and plan intentional connections to English as students develop across the program, from early grades through transition.

ESL & Sheltered Instruction

Partnering with ESL specialists and content-area teachers in grades K–12 to develop language-integrated instruction that gives English Learners meaningful access to rigorous academic content.

Questions We Help Schools Address

Sound familiar?

How can we strengthen Spanish instruction without simply translating practices developed for English?

How can we connect professional learning to what actually happens in classrooms?

How can we design instruction that gives English Learners access to grade-level content while building academic language?

How can we plan connections across languages while honoring the characteristics of each?

Workshops and learning experiences for teachers and leaders focused on bilingual education, biliteracy, and Spanish instruction — grounded in analysis, reflection, and planning for classroom application.

Instructional Coaching

Collaborative support connecting professional learning to practice through planning, lesson analysis, modeling, observation, and examination of student work.

Our Approach

Research, context, and practical implementation — connected.

We don't arrive with a fixed prescription. We begin by understanding your program's goals, existing practices, and priorities. Then we work alongside your educators to translate professional learning into concrete instructional decisions that make a difference in classrooms — from elementary through high school.
