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. "Yet, too often our schools and classrooms neglect this multilingual identity, even going as far to repress it, whether consciously or unconsciously. This is why it is an act of love to understand our students’ multilingual translanguaging processes and the pedagogical strategies that cultivate that power." I'd love to hear what you think. Reach out today to chat more about translanguaging.

 🗣️Excited to return to DL25 in San Diego! This was one of my highlights from last year as a facilitator and learner.
Join me at my session for the Deeper Learning Conference where we'll dive into transformative education strategies. Let's connect, learn, and inspire! We will be diving deep into translanguaging pedagogies while we explore our own languaging practices and histories. Register now: https://lnkd.in/gExWPezm  This month's past workshop was really special. Educators committed to growth, change, and rethinking "what we've always done".
In November I will be hosting a 90 minute, online workshop: Cultivating Flow: Translanguaging for Equitable, Dynamic Multilingual Ecosystems in International Schools. Our essential question: How can our schools and classrooms cultivate a loving, empowering, dynamic, multilingual ecosystem where multilingual students thrive? Head on over to Eventbrite to grab your tickets. I look forward to seeing you there!  Quality, research based, and FUN professional learning should be accessible and affordable. Here are my upcoming professional learning online workshops for Fall 2024. Some old favorites, some new offerings I'll share more info about the agenda closer to each date, but wanted to share the big picture for the semester.
Head on over to my Event Brite page for more info and to grab your tickets. Newsletter subscribers, check your September newsletter for a discount code! Just a quick note: these times really cater to the time zones in Asia, where I work with a lot of educators. However, if you are in another time zone and there is demand, I'm happy to offer these workshops again in that range of time zones. Just reach out!  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.
