Rethinking canonical views of language and literacy

We subscribe to a view of schooling that embraces our pluralistic society and values the diversity of languages, literacies, and knowledge traditions represented by the heritage cultures in our immigrant nation.  We promote schooling that nourishes the continually evolving hybrid cultural practices that result from the intermingling of those traditions."
