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. 
"​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.

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?

AISA Translanguaging Workshop this March

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.
