A Collaborative Process for Creating Language-Rich Classroom Environments

A Collaborative Process for Creating Language-Rich Classroom Environments
It is, of course, one thing to know what a language-rich classroom environment looks like and another thing to put one’s ideas and intentions into everyday practice. My experiences as a consultant for
school districts that are attempting to implement language-rich classrooms suggests that a team-based action plan incorporating the engagement and expertise of diverse local constituents is the best route to actualization. The five steps to actualizing a team-based action plan include identifying a team, devel- oping a philosophy, designing the physical space, designing daily language plans, and ensuring quality adult-child interaction.
