Here’s one of the most fascinating child development videos I’ve ever shared. As your baby learns language, they begin by approximating the examples you set. After a period of early experimentation with sound (including cries, coos and gurgles), infants begin babbling - making speech-like sounds (which often include components of conventional speech) that are - nonetheless - not yet conventionally meaningful. This babbling phase is a precursor to the use of formal words. And it happens in all languages. Including sign language. This video shows an infant (who, by the way, is not hearing impaired) “babbling” to her deaf grandparents. As they sign to her, she responds in kind, using her hands to approximate the signed communication that they are modeling. It’s a whole serve and return conversation, just as if they were conversing verbally. If you’ll watch carefully, you’ll note distinct turn taking. And - interestingly - that with her grandparents she largely avoids vocalizations, in favor of gesture. What a treat to see this rich example of bilingual language development. This fascinating video was shared to TT by mara_mccullough.

@juliarafalbaer Life changing relationships.

For anyone who has faced obstacles to advancement in their career and been fortunate enough to have a professional sponsor, the value of sponsorship is clear. It’s a game changer. Sponsors actively contribute to the development and support of others. They take a personal interest in advancing others, especially aspiring leaders who may face barriers in their career progression. The education workforce is 80% women, yet women only hold the top job in 30% of the largest 500 districts.  Insufficient sponsorship and unequal access to growth opportunities as their male colleagues impacts the professional ascent of too many women. Being a sponsor or ally for women is a catalytic step for creating gender equality in education leadership.  Sponsors are active and strategic in their influence in helping women access opportunities, people, and spaces to support their career journey. At @WomenLeadingEd we have created the tools for sponsors and allies to take an active part in the work.
