    Prepare for a Journey

    As CS for All grows as a national initiative, teachers may find themselves wondering how to reach multilingual learners. The activities below will help you you prepare for your learning journey.

    The video below calls out the systems that prevent multilingual learners from reaching their full potential. It also introduces the Participating in Literacies and-Computer Science (PiLa-CS) research-practice partnership project, which has worked with the NYCDOE to promote these learners' participation in CSforAll. 

    In the following video "Afro-Latina", by Elizabeth Acevedo watch how Elizabeth relays the complexities of coming from multiple backgrounds with multiple languages and its effects and influence on her life.
