Dear Colleagues and Friends:

I’d like to personally welcome each of you to the NMABE 2016 Conference: “Language and Culture: A Tapestry for Teaching and Learning”. Over the next two days, you will hear from experts in the field regarding Culturally Relevant Teaching and Learning, Native Language and Culture, Dual Language Education, strategies for English Language Learners, and much much more.

April is a busy time in schools. There is a great sense of anxiousness for the annual student assessments, summative evaluations, and students know that summer is just right around the corner! With the conference being hosted in spring, I wanted to focus on the spring season as a time of transformation. The spring season is full of transformations. The temperature rises, the leaves we saw fall and flowers we saw wilt are now budding into lush, green, picture-perfect plants. Aside from the weather's transformations that occur in the spring season, we are planning for transformations within NMABE as well.

Transformations within NMABE:

• NMABE is strengthening the board responsibilities and developing strong accountability measures within the organization.

• NMABE’s newsletter, El Noticiero, will now be a web-based quarterly newsletter sent to members via email. It has a new look, advocacy updates, and articles that will capture the history of bilingual education in New Mexico.

• NMABE is also starting a new membership list. Your attendance in the Spring Conference makes you a member! Congratulations!

• NMABE will also be strengthening affiliations with other organizations both in the state and around the nation. We know that collaboration is key to advocacy!

• NMABE will also engage with districts around the state to offer Professional Development Institutes. We want to proactively support schools to improve the culture within schools by consistently engaging adults as learners in the promotion of educational excellence and equity.

While we strive to make the transformations, we will also be mindful on maintaining the incredible history, precious legacy, and extreme dedication of the New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education, members past and present.

Thank you for joining us at “Language and Culture: A Tapestry for Teaching and Learning”. The title seeks to capture the strong relationship between language, culture, teaching and learning. My belief is that the connection or relationship is so strong that education itself cannot happen void one concept or the other. The tapestry represents the complexity and intense beauty in making the language, culture, teaching and learning central to our work as educators.

Sincerely, Victoria Tafoya NMABE President

April 22, 2016 Dear conference participants:

On behalf of the members of the Board of the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE), I would like to congratulate the New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education (NMABE) for hosting its 43rd Annual NMABE Conference.

I applaud NMABE for including key words that contribute to high-quality bilingual/multilingual education in this year’s conference theme: Language, Culture, Teaching and Learning. When I think of the conference theme, Language and Culture: A Tapestry for Teaching and Learning, I also think of a tapestry of names of the students we serve and their voices.

The National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE), Santa Clara County Office of Education, and McGraw-Hill Education are joining efforts to build a more inclusive, respectful culture throughout the country by asking educators and community members to make a pledge to honor students, neighbors and coworkers by promising to learn how to pronounce their names correctly. Dr. John King, Secretary of Education said in his video greeting for the NABE 2016 conference participants, “The My Name, My Identity National Campaign that you’re leading will, indeed, help us meet that goal. Through this initiative, you’ll not only teach the education community about the cultural context of students’ names, but – in doing so – create a respectful and inclusive environment in schools. I have no doubt you’ll reach your goal of one million pledges by the 2017 conference!” Please encourage others to take the pledge at mynamemyidentity.org.

To recognize the significant linguistic and cultural assets that bilingual and multilingual learners bring to schools, Congressman Mike Honda introduced a House Resolution affirming April 2016 as National Bilingual/Multilingual Learner Advocacy month and presented a resolution to NABE on Thursday, April 21, 2016.

Again, I hope you will become inspired and renewed by the new knowledge and ideas that you will gain from this conference. I encourage you to join the effort in advocating for educational equity and excellence, which in turn will prepare multiliterate global citizens.

Sincerely,

Yee Wan, Ed.D. NABE President, 2015-16

C o n f e r e n c e E v e n t s

Ana María (Nana) Encinias, former President of NMABE, has been an exemplary leader in transforming the education of English learners and bilingual students for over 40 years. Throughout her professional career, as a teacher, principal and instructional manager, she has powerfully advocated for quality instruction and equal access for all students through effective bilingual education and EL programs.

Nana’s passion for ensuring that all students learn to their highest potential led her to partner with

Lily Wong Fillmore, Albuquerque Public Schools, the Council of Great City Schools, and colleagues in fostering a culture of high expectations with appropriate instructional strategies for every child to be successful. Through this partnership she worked enthusiastically with principals, teachers and support staff to ensure that students meaningfully engaged with beautiful, grade level, and compelling texts to successfully develop literacy and thinking skills in English and their home language.

Nana championed bilingual education and cherished working with students, teachers, parents and community to bolster the education of all students. We pay tribute to Ana María Encinias for her courageous leadership, years of dedication, and her challenge to each of us to do our very best to serve our students and community. Her legacy continues… ¡Juntos podemos!

I n M e m o r i a m

Miguel Encinias, a native New Mexican, was one of our states most decorated war veterans. Miguel served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War and was a former prisoner of war. In the mid-1990's, President Bill Clinton asked Miguel to serve on the World War II Memorial Advisory Board to help build the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. When that memorial finally opened in 2004, Miguel was the only living veteran on the board to attend the ceremony, where he spoke. In addition to his Distinguished Flying Cross honors, during his career he was awarded two Purple Heart medals and 14 Air Medals.

Miguel retired from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel in 1971 and returned to New Mexico, where he earned a doctorate in Spanish literature at The University of New Mexico. As Miguel learned more about the literature written in Spanish,

and about Spanish linguistics he became more and more convinced that the best way to educate Hispanic children was to allow them to learn through Spanish about the many different Hispanic cultures, and literatures. But first we needed to start with the teachers. This is what he said in the concluding chapter of his 1976 dissertation: What the teachers must do in order to acquire Spanish proficiency is to gain a deep appreciation for Hispanic culture. They must be inspired to continue studying and reading in Spanish and to develop a curiosity about Hispanic society and civilization which will culminate in such activities as travel in Spanish-speaking countries and other participation in Hispanic life. … If enough interest, or better, excitement is generated in Hispanic culture to permit it to permeate the community, bilingual –bicultural education will have been a success.

Geneva Becenti, NMABE Navajo Representative will then introduce our keynote speaker, Dr. Cornel Pewewardy, Professor and Director of Indigenous Nations Studies at Portland State University. His research explores Native American mascots in schools and media, recruiting/retention of native students in higher education, indigenous teaching praxis, indigenous urban and reservation-based teacher education, culturally responsive tribal colleges, transformational Indigenous schools and other significant areas.



E lroy Natachu Jr, from the Pueblo of Zuni; his clans are Eagle Clan (Kya’kya’li:kwe) and a child of the Macaw Parrot (Mula Bitchi:kwe). Elroy is a modern day painter,

rekindling the essence of Zuni Culture by incorporating various styles ranging from Abstraction, Color Field, Symbolism, Realism, and Painterly. Elroy’s artistic journey started at a young age. “I was born into a family of native craft specialists. I grew up mainly on my mother’s side of the family, with my grandfather Sefferino L. Eriacho Sr. as my moral/spiritual compass. He taught discipline as well stories of Zuni and its vast history/religion. From these teaching I began working through visual media, sketches, drawings, etc.”

Elroy encompasses a wide range of subject matter that specifically pertains to Zuni Culture. Examples: Kachina Figures, Animals, Insects, Sacred Colors, Embroidery, etc. To describe my artistry: it is the essence of the religious beliefs and teachings of the Zuni People. He uses acrylic paints on stretched canvas to create his work. “I love utilizing artistic techniques such as color fields, and color theory. My work allows the colors to convey emotions, with the addition of splatter and Acrylic Transfers. My manipulations of the mediums create a new take on Classic Zuni Painting.”

NMABE 2016 Conference Poster Art: The painting background is representative of a new beginning in life. The gold splattering is the blessing from our sun father to carry the well being of our people. Also one hand print is represent our people in today's society, and the other is our ancestors and sacred beings that guide us on the journey of life. The patterns are that of de-constructed design that would be on Men's embroidered kilt. The lower left kilt design is the past that have helped to mold how education is taught today. The wear and tear on the kilt patterns are representing the journey of learning, whether it be formal education or cultural: the journey is difficult but there is beauty in it.

Promoting Biliteracy through Paired LiteracySara Hamilton, Rebecca Castellanos, Jenna Doung | Denver Public Schools

Paired Literacy is a strategic approach to biliteracy instruction where students are learning to read, write, speak, and listen in two languages to promote comprehension. Paired literacy lessons are not designed to duplicate learning, nor as a pre-teach/ reteach lesson. This approach honors the fact that students acquire literacy skills across languages and transfers skills and content learned in one language to the other. Paired literacy, through its structure, supports students and teachers in meetings the shifts of the Common Core. Language: English

Cross-Linguistic Transfer: Sound Spelling TransferSilvia Reyes | Benchmark

Rio Rancho and Project ELL - Where Education Meets Technology

Mellony Deuel | Project ELL, Stephany Moore| Rio Rancho Public Schools

Communication is essential for our students to grow and be successful. It is critical for our English Language Learners. Districts need to be able to communicate with ease what supports and strategies are working and which need to be abandoned. During transitional times that communication is even more significant for our students. Project ELL has allowed us to deliberately track and discuss the supports of our ELLs in our classroom. Every educational contact has the opportunity to track and contribute to the growth of our students. In this session, Rio Rancho and Project ELL will demonstrate how to effectively combine ducational expertise with technology to provide optimal success for our ELL students.

Sustaining Navajo Knowledge for Navajo Youth and Communities Dr. Tiffany Lee | Native American Studies, UNM

The Navajo Nation has a very large population of young people, yet the cultural knowledge and wealth of the Nation is held by the elderly Navajo, many of whom only speak Navajo and maintain traditional Navajo lifestyles. This divergence of learning between elderly and youth with regard to traditional knowledge, language, and leadership represents one of our largest needs for addressing and is the purpose of this research service project. Come learn about the Navajo Studies Conference, Inc (NSCI) and their focus on demonstrating perspectives of Navajo people and their allies in an effort to inspire the critical consciousness and awareness of Navajo people toward positive transformative change.

BILINGUAL EDUCATION ADMINISTRATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD

THE TEÓFILA TRUJILLO AWARD

This award was created in the early years of Bilingual Education in New Mexico, in memory of an outstanding parent liaison in the Taos Schools’ Title VII

Bilingual Education Program. Teófila did much to inform, involve and deepen parents’ understanding of the importance of language, history and culture in the curriculum. As a result of her work, many parents became involved by providing needed resources in the classrooms, helping to develop the curriculum and encouraging their children to do well in school. Teófila touched the hearts, minds and souls of many.

THE MATÍAS L. CHACÓN AWARD

This award is named in honor of the late State Senator Matías L. Chacón. It is awarded to recognize a New Mexican who has made a significant contribution to Bilingual Education at the state level. Senator Matías

Chacón (from the Española area) introduced the Bilingual Multicultural Education Act of 1973.

Senator Chacón was interested in quality in the public schools, and was most concerned about the Spanish-speaking population, not only in the north, but also in the entire state. Senator Chacón sought a broader application of the state’s prior Bilingual Education legislation, which had been designed only for non-English speakers. Without funding, it would be difficult to realize the aspirations of the people for bilingualism and cultural preservation.

So, Senator Chacón introduced legislation for Bilingual Education to re-ceive sufficient funding to implement quality Bilingual Education programs

for all students in Grades K-6, not just those with limited ability in English. His actions instituted the idea of Bilingual Multicultural Education in all corners of the state. The Act nurtured the concept that it was sound to use the home language as a medium of instruction and to include the state’s cultures in the curriculum. This brought about a resurgence of pride in the languages of the state, and a means by which the state’s institu-tions - its schools - could preserve and develop its heritage languages while also developing English language proficiency for all.

THE BEN LUJÁN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The Ben Luján Lifetime Achievement Award is NMABE’s newest award. It is named after the late Speaker of the House, Rep. Ben Luján, who served with

distinction as one of New Mexico’s longest-serving legislators. As the Speaker of the House, he became one of the most powerful legislators in the state and in the state’s history, and he became equally more humble, passionate and caring.

Speaker Luján was often fondly referred to as “the champion of the people.” His ability to be accessible to all was one of his hallmarks. He was open to ideas, especially those of educators, and developed a trust and confidence in them, which in turn, created an extraordinarily profound partnership.

As a staunch supporter for education, Speaker Luján led the efforts over the years to sustain the funding for education. He supported the creation of the Bilingual Multicultural Education Act of 1973. He also created special legislation to develop and implement after-school K-8 programs as an enrichment and academic support for all students, especially for those at risk.
