Getting to learn alongside the collaboratives' fellows and associates has been so critical for me this year. Stepping out of the traditional school structure, the Educator Collaborative has offered a professional learning community for me that is anchored in hope and justice. For that I am so grateful. Want to know more about the Educator Collaborative's work? Head on over to their website. Amazing keynotes and presentations on Saturday April 13. Won't you join us? I'll be sharing a new talk called Hear, Think, Wonder: Tuning into our Students' Dynamic Multilingualism Honored to be part of #DL24 in San Diego! Join me at the Deeper Learning Conference for a dynamic exploration of rehumanizing education practices.
I'm excited to explore multilingual learners, project-based learning, and designing for discourse. Let's collaborate and inspire change together! Interested in #DL24? Learn more and register here: http://deeper-learning.org/DL24 For too long English-only policies within international schools have upheld colonial ideals. As educators, we have the responsibility to disrupt harm within systems and build more loving, nurturing spaces where our students can be their authentic selves. We have the opportunity to cultivate dynamic multilingual ecosystems within our classes, through the open-hearted and strategic use of translanguaging. This March I will be traveling to Nairobi, Kenya to facilitate a two day workshop on translanguaging.This interactive workshop will explore the dynamic translanguaging practices of our students, as well as the pedagogy to foster multilingual ecosystems within our classes where all our students can thrive. The aim of this event is to create a community of practitioners dedicated to linguistic equity as they learn how to cultivate dynamics multilingual classroom ecosystem with translanguaging pedagogies. Register here on the Association of International School's of Africa's website. "Since the dawn of language, conversations have been powerful teachers." This quote by Jeff Zwiers, highlights the idea that whomever is doing the talking is doing the learning. Yet, multilingual learners are often denied access to curiosity and playful, discussion-rich classrooms because of misconceptions about language learning and bias How do we design for equitable discourse so that mlls can thrive in the #inquiry classroom? Designing for discourse in the classroom is a keystone to fostering critical thinking, acquiring a new language, sparking creativity, understanding different perspectives, and developing an empathetic learning community. Designing for discourse is also a radical resistance to what Paulo Freire describes as the "banking method" of education. We will unpack design elements that nurture equitable discourse for our multilingual learners in the inquiry classroom. To register follow this link. |
