Full Description
Associate Professor of ESL/Bilingual Education Katherine Barko-Alva and Sociology Professor Jennifer Bickham Mendez have been selected as W. Taylor Reveley, III Interdisciplinary Faculty Fellows in support of the proposal, “Aprendiendo Juntos (Learning Together): Supporting English Learners and their Families in Williamsburg Public Schools.” In its current iteration, the Aprendiendo Juntos Project is a community-based initiative involving partnerships with Grove Christian Outreach Center, two local high schools and William & Mary undergraduate student volunteers. Aprendiendo Juntos seeks not only to provide academic support to Spanish-speaking students but also to amplify the voices and representation of these families within the community.
The Reveley Fellows program supports interdisciplinary work at William & Mary. Its goal is to stimulate intellectual creativity across the campus by facilitating faculty commitment to interdisciplinary teaching and research, taking greater advantage of our existing intellectual resources in novel combinations.
