I am so delighted to be joining up with Knowledge Source Institute again for this webinar series where we will ask ourselves:

• As educators how do we nurture additive multilingualism in our classrooms and schools where students' full identities are seen, valued, and loved?​
• How do we strategically plan instruction that facilitates language acquisition alongside grade level concept / concept attainment?
  
  

We will explore ...

Session 1: Multilingual Mindsets
Session 2: Facilitating Language Acquisition Through Content
Session 3: Pedagogical Practices 
Session 4: Facilitating Discourse

Register today! I'd love for you to join me.

Not one but two exciting webinars this month. Delighted to be partnering with Knowledge Source Institute this April 20th.  Click here to register! Let's learn together.

​
Who Should Attend
Grade level/content area classroom teachers K-12, EAL Specialists, Instructional Coaches, Curriculum Coordinators, and Leadership
​Background
International school teachers know that “all teachers are language teachers” and must embed explicit language instruction into their context. But what does that exactly look like?

Language targets are a keystone element of nurturing the needs of multilingual students learning a new language. Language targets focus on vocabulary, grammar, and discourse needed to be successful in grade level expectations.

Workshop Aim
This workshop will examine principles of vocabulary, grammar/syntax, and discourse development and provide a toolkit of strategies for participants.​
Topics Covered 

• Crafting High Impact Language Targets for the Grade Level/Content Area Classroom 
• Facilitating Language Learning at the Vocabulary, Sentence, and Discourse Level 
• Strategies ​

This hands on webinar will equip participants to answer following questions:

• How can my grade level/content area classroom facilitate language acquisition within the context of my curriculum? 
• What is an effective language target that facilitates to language learning in the grade level/content area classroom? 
• What strategies help our students achieve our language targets, and consequently achieve grade level standards? 

​

Back by popular demand!  Join me this September for "The Co-teaching Adventure: Sharing the Vision for Educational Equity for Multilingual Students in the International Classroom" as part of the ASIJ Learning Series.  This workshop will be a two day dive into the co-taught classroom. As requested, this workshop has been extended into a two day exploration.  This workshop isn't just for EAL specialists, but co-teachers to explore together.  Instructional coaches and administrators are also encouraged to join us. Looking forward to seeing you this September.

Join me in Nagoya, Japan on Saturday, September 15th, 2018.

We live in a multilingual and global society. Linguistic demographics of international schools have changed.  The question is... have our instructional and assessment practices changed to meet the needs of our students? What does an international classroom with a true immersion program that celebrates and leverages their students bilingualism look like?

I am really excited to share this EAL international certificate offered by the Teacher Training Center.  The certificate program consists of three courses. Two are offered online while one other on-sight course.
