SUMMARY:Supporting Student Success through Community Asset Mapping
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION:Supporting Student Success through Community Asset Mapping\n\n02/20/26 05:30 PM EST\n - 02/20/26 06:30 PM EST\Description:\nThis webinar brings together five interrelated strands of practice and scholarship that center community, humanity, and assets in language and teacher education. Across these proposals runs a shared commitment to moving beyond deficit-based narratives about multilingual learners and communities, toward humanizing, relational, and creative approaches that recognize students’, families’, and educators’ lived experiences as powerful sources of knowledge.\n\nGrounded in Community Asset Mapping (CAM), creative storytelling, arts integration, and transborder pedagogies, the session explores how educators can meaningfully engage communities as co-producers and co-designers of learning. Participants will examine strategies for preparing bilingual and ESL teachers to identify learners’ “superpowers” as cultural ambassadors, honor diverse repertoires of communicative practice, and cultivate classrooms that are responsive to both local and transnational realities.\n\nDrawing from classroom-based examples, teacher education redesign, and community-engaged practices, the webinar highlights how community knowledge, creativity, and connection can transform curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher identity. Participants will leave with practical tools and conceptual frameworks for designing learning experiences that are asset-oriented, culturally sustaining, and deeply humanizing—across diverse educational contexts.\n \n\n	\n		\n			Name\n			Role\n		\n		\n			Jasmin Cowin\n			presenter\n		\n		\n			Joy Scantlebury\n			presenter\n		\n		\n			Marina Pisto\n			presenter\n		\n		\n			Rachel Toncelli\n			presenter\n		\n		\n			Laura E.

Across these proposals runs a shared commitment to moving beyond deficit-based narratives about multilingual learners and communities, toward humanizing, relational, and creative approaches that recognize students&rsquo;, families&rsquo;, and educators&rsquo; lived experiences as powerful sources of knowledge.<br />
<br />
Grounded in Community Asset Mapping (CAM), creative storytelling, arts integration, and transborder pedagogies, the session explores how educators can meaningfully engage communities as co-producers and co-designers of learning. Participants will examine strategies for preparing bilingual and ESL teachers to identify learners&rsquo; &ldquo;superpowers&rdquo; as cultural ambassadors, honor diverse repertoires of communicative practice, and cultivate classrooms that are responsive to both local and transnational realities.<br />
<br />
Drawing from classroom-based examples, teacher education redesign, and community-engaged practices, the webinar highlights how community knowledge, creativity, and connection can transform curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher identity. Participants will leave with practical tools and conceptual frameworks for designing learning experiences that are asset-oriented, culturally sustaining, and deeply humanizing&mdash;across diverse educational contexts.<br />
