A really interesting map from the U.S. Census shows where speakers of different languages tend to reside in the U.S. Amazing to click on Spanish to see the distribution across the country. A good deal of other languages are represented, and it's interesting to see where there are consistencies of language diversity as well as novel areas for a given language group. They leave out English as a clickable language. I wonder what that would look like.

I am a professor in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I have served as an associate editor at Child Development, Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
