This presentation overviews the language education policy context for bilingual children in the United States and the impact of language ideologies on educational programming and practices. It then highlights the critical work of teachers and school administrators in navigating those policies, focusing on their agency to not only implement policies but also to create them. With the “multilingual turn” (May, 2014) in TESOL and applied linguistics, the language policy focus within this session is on how researchers and practitioners can take up approaches that promote bi/multilingualism. Specifically, I will share examples from research of how administrators and educators have disrupted English-only policies by implementing translanguaging pedagogy in their schools and/or by offering bilingual education programming. Findings from this research highlight the importance of setting a language policy vision at the school and classroom level, and the presentation will share a process for doing so.
