Congratulations to Dr. Stage!
Dr. Virginia Stage, associate professor in the Nutrition Science Department, will serve as a co-investigator on a new project funded via the National Science Foundation.
The project “Bilingualtek: Multimedia Assisted Language-based Science Learning for Latino Preschoolers” (PI: Dr. Lucia Mendez at UNC-G) aims to minimize differences in science learning opportunities faced by low-income Latino preschoolers through the development and assessment of Bilingualtek (BT). BT is a multimedia-supported, integrated science-language instructional approach focused on engaging science experiences, enriched by three innovative practices: scaffolded science talk, culturally and linguistically responsive science shared readings, and e-books for science and dual-language learning (DLL) in the preschool.
