Abstract
The purpose of this ethnographic study was to observe and document how one district implemented a translanguaging pilot program. I document how translanguaging was constructed, developed, shared, and implemented with school leaders, teachers, staff, and parents. I provide a narrative overview of the people involved in and setting of the translanguaging pilot project and the five major themes that answered the two research questions that were based on data collected from observations over the 2017-2018 period and interviews with the parents, teachers, principal, and district administrators. Five themes emerged as follows: divergent understanding about translanguaging in the classroom; lack of leadership; lack of communication; parental exclusion; and curriculum, instruction, and student progress. Chapter 5 contains several conclusions, implications, and recommendations because the evidence from the classroom pilot of translanguaging pedagogy in the Spring of 2018 indicated it has great promise as an effective pedagogy for ensuring student bilingualism.
