The draft had been sitting for a bit, but it felt important to push through. Now more than ever translanguaging pedagogy is an act of love and resistance.

I'm proud to share Translanguaging as an Act of Love and Resistance that I wrote for the Educator Collaborative's blog. 

I'd love to hear what you think. Reach out today to chat more about translanguaging.

My first international school job was at an ISS governed school.  It's a privilege to get to do this work with ISS and in many ways feels like coming home.

Additionally, as part of the promotion for the ISS EDU Course, I got to be a guest on the Ask Me Anything Podcast. I had a great time with Katlyn, Mike, and Celiah as we chatted about instructional design, playful iteration, and pattern seeking as a way to work through the tensions that the word "differentiation" often 

invokes in educators. My episode can be found here or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
