Integrating Home Culture and Language in Learning Activities and Environments Video

October 2024 | California Department of Education and WestEd

This 3-minute video from the California Department of Education and WestEd provides examples of ways educators can create a supportive classroom environment for PreK–TK multilingual learners. Highlighting voices from the field, the video includes strategies such as inviting families to share their language and culture in the classroom, developing a collection of class materials that represent students’ cultures and languages, and allowing early education students to express and experience their cultures in the classroom. This video, along with the others available in the toolkit, will be helpful for teachers and teacher educators considering practices to best support multilingual learners.
