We added two sessions this year. 10:00AM and 4:00PM for those of you engaging in EST time zones. @amisa_us @TriAssociation Looking forward to great conversation.

Are you a dual language @iborganization #PYP school? We are wondering if anyone might be willing to share their schedules with us @AIS_Eagles. We are putting together a task force to review our daily schedules to meet the needs of our learners. Looking for some inspiration.

@Tnikrandt @columbus_school How did Eva get old already?

Today was an amazing day @columbus_school we celebrated #kite #day and my babies loved it and momma too! Luckily to be at a school that comes together and has fun together!

We had lots of fun building our Primary School parent community @AISLearns using @KaganOnline w/ StandUp, HandUp, PairUp structure to share ideas about what makes a highly effective school.

Great @ibpyp provocation for our @AISLearns Ss starting inquiry around changes in technology over time. Lots of great observations & questions in multiple languages!

Working in a school like @AISLearns w/ 4 language programs is SO exciting. Today I had a chance to see a wide variety of scaffolds used by our outstanding Chinese Ts to provide differentiated instruction to get Ss engaged in all language domains.

Working w/ our @AISLearns Grade-level Leaders to identify & share our @SchoolReformInc Compass Points leadership styles in order to self reflect, build community, promote understanding & lay the foundation for norm building.

@peluchiflores @AISLearns @atlantaSTEAM So great to see our @AISLearns Ss hands-on in @ibpyp provocations to spark exciting lines of inquiry.

Our grade 5 students inquiring about the body systems @AISLearns @atlantaSTEAM

@atlantaSTEAM @AISLearns It was an AMAZING set of provocations for the new unit of inquiry. What a great variety of activities to launch a unit. Can’t wait to see where our Ss lead us w/ their questions. @AISLearns @ibpyp

Isn't it great when the head of primary is having just as much fun in the #PopUpCuriosityLab listening to what learning sounds like! ⁦@AISLearns⁩ #aisSTEAM #AISinnovators ⁦@HajdunHomeroom⁩

@NordmeyerJ And then @AIS_Eagles? We have four dual language programs and an after school heritage language programs for a total of ten languages actively being taught. An exciting place for action research!

Got research? Join the MLRC at a Research Symposium this year. Together we will explore research-based insights and opportunities for teaching multilingual learners. Barcelona: Nov 18-19, 2023 Singapore: Dec 2-3, 2023 Guatemala City: Jan 27-28, 2024 mlrc.wisc.edu/events/

Our Primary School Leadership Team took 30 minutes to interview 5 students each about their thoughts on community on our fourth day of school. Here are just some of the responses that brightened our day @AISLearns.

We are back @AISLearns, Primary School staff unpack the complex relationship between identity, community, and belonging w/in our intentional inclusive, multilingual learning environment.

@Tnikrandt @AIS_Eagles If you’ll let me send you a voice message ;-)

@HajdunHomeroom @AIS_Eagles Can you share the instructions?!

First retreat w/ our @AIS_Eagles Primary School Leadership Team. We took time to share 9 identity markers and find connections btwn who we are & how that impacts our actions & sense of belonging in shared spaces.

@KatieToppel I love how your Target trips always bring new ideas. You’re constantly looking for deals and inspiration. It’s FANTASTIC!

As educators, we say we are working to be more culturally responsive and sustaining, but are we really? Or, is it all performative?#duallanguage #culturallyresponsivepedagogy #culturallysustainingpedagogy #ESL #EAL #ELD #ENL #bilingual #bilingualism #translanguaging

@MLSummit1 @ValentinaESL @NataliaESL Can’t wait to check out all the recording and learn from all these #MLallstars!

That is a wrap for the #MLSummit! Thanks to all these rock stars that joined us for the session by @ValentinaESL & @NataliaESL. And everyone who uses the #MLSummit in any way! Pic 1 of 2

“Language is tied to identity. You don't have to give up your identity of who you are in order to learn English.” says newcomers teacher Efraín Tovar.

@KatieToppel @SIOPModel You really can do it all!

@DrTCKrastel @NWEA Wonderful to share stories about how @columbus_school is striving to leverage Ss’ assets in their heritage language. It’s all possible due to valid & reliable @NWEA MAP Growth & Fluency data in both Spanish & English to clearly see what our learners #CanDo.
