I'm delighted to be partnering with Tucson Regional Educator Collaborative to bring this workshop to early years educators in September.

How can we honor the joyful, play-based spirit of early childhood while intentionally supporting language development for all learners—especially our multilinguals? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how early years educators can become purposeful language nurturers, weaving rich, responsive language experiences into every corner of the classroom.

I am delighted to share that I am continuing to partner with MiniPd.  I am developing two asynchronous courses as part of a larger subscription bundle.  These courses will explore the multilingual mindsets and content language integrated learning. The courses are about an hour of contact time each, with lots of resources and opportunities to extend your learning. 

I continue to be inspired by my work  with MiniPD.  Their model of responsive and affordable high quality professional learning is energizing! Stay tuned!
