Results show that teachers from both samples, on average, strongly agree that a person's identity is connected to their language and culture. However, we found significant differences in scale mean values between US teachers and German teachers concerning their beliefs about (1) the interconnected nature of language with culture and identity, (2) language demand in content classrooms, (3) responsibility for language teaching, and (4) valuing multilingualism. Our results provide insight into cross-cultural differences between German and US teachers' beliefs, as well as a strong instrument in two languages to measure teachers' beliefs about multilingualism in schools.

Spring is a time where there are many holidays and celebrations such as Ramadan, Easter, Holi, and many more. We encourage you to work with your students if you can and try some home cooking. The included activities make room for students to cook with you, draw a picture about the cooking experience and write about the experience. Remember, this packet is meant as a tool for fun learning and not frustration. We hope this packet gives you the opportunity to bring your family together. El paquete de esta semana se centra en la repostería y la cocina durante la primavera.

Le animamos a que si puede trabaje con su estudiante e intente cocinar algo en casa. Las actividades que se incluyen se han adaptado para que su estudiante cocine con usted, dibuje sus experiencias cocinando y, además, escriba sobre ell...
