"I as a teacher don't need to know what every word in your brainstorm means." @ProfHeatherW@ILAToday#ILAIntensive
Students need to use their entire linguistic repertoire to make meaning. We shouldn't put limitations on their thinking because of our linguistic skill or comfort.
"We need to say [to the families of all our learners]: you are an asset to your child's education in ALL languages" says @ProfHeatherW. So many excellent ideas re making space for linguistic choice & expression in @ILAToday's #translanguaging strategies webinar. #ILAIntensive
Vibing w it all @ProfHeatherW! #Translanguaging across the school community has been my favorite part of this work. Interactive bulletin boards, environmental language hunts, signmaking parties, multilingual book clubs, storytelling, community writing... #ILAIntensive@ILAToday
In the session "Teaching for Social Justice with Comics" hear from @ProfHeatherW, @docthemic, & @gelfling1220, three self-described "comic-nerd-educators," as they explore #comics as a cultural and educational lens in the classroom and the world. ow.ly/rTVG30qY85D
Really flattered by everyone sharing that tweet about casting me as Katara in ATLA but I understand I may not be the perfect person for the role. SO I present Snowguard, an Inuk Marvel superhero. @Marvel your move
