I can't believe I finally have a copy! @AnnaTeachesMLLs hand delivered these books from the U.S. for @TeachELLs and me. It was so great to meet you, Anna!

You know your school has done a good job with promoting multilingualism and translanguaging when a student seamlessly and instinctually takes notes in two languages without being reminded or prompted to do so (and also isn't an "EAL student"). 💜

A4. There is a correlation between student- teacher & learning-teaching. Student's growth is usually linked to teacher's growth, when we get out of our comfort zone to learn new skills, new apps, try new strategies to ensure we are targeting our teaching goals but always keeping the students in the center of everything, helping them achieve their learning goals taking into consideration their needs/wants, strengths and areas of improvement. #PubPDAsia

A1: At @aisbudapest the HSMUN collaborated with the MSMUN to train them and prep for the conference. It was powerful because the HS students had a great opportunity to be leaders and the MS students had great role models.

Checking in for #PubPDasia from Macau! @educatormsmayer @LorneSchmidt @HiedeSchmidt @HalfotAlphabet

My first in person Pub PD and the topic is collaboration! 💜

@theumamenon Thank you for writing this book!

@MsMteachesELLs @ssischool So happy to hear this! Thank you for sharing with your students :)

I read @theumamenon's My Mother's Tongues with Grade 5 classes at @ssischool this week. Our students really connected with the main character's language journey. We discussed translanguaging, multilingualism, and the importance of home language.

The "surprise and delight" of the book was the last page where so many languages were represented. (All six classes erupted when they saw it!) The last class added some languages they knew that weren't in the book.

@RosenowRon @m_mccracken11 Languages ARE the best! 🥰

Best thank you card ever. I think I made an impact this school year. @m_mccracken11

You can use Padlet to record and upload videos. This feature is useful for video introductions, language practice, discussions, and more!

Translanguaging in action! In preparation for our Harkness discussion on Fast Fashion and Sustainability, students were asked to contribute an article to our Padlet either in their home language or from their home country. They wrote a short summary in English.

@fang_wangNIST @NISTSchool I love this! So great that you have such a collaborative department that shares their learning and successes with each other! ❤️🙌

What a beautiful way to close the last department meeting at ELEA World Languages @NISTSchool this school year! Listening to my colleagues sharing about their successes to celebrate, I realized that every success in our professional growth is closely tied to our teamwork.

@JoelieMcCrary @teacher2teacher Love this idea!

@teacher2teacher I enjoyed the discussion and creativity that came with having my future teachers create identity portraits. x.com/JoelieMcCrary/…

Whether you had success with a new strategy or an old one, share this year's favorite lesson!

@DigitalNomadRob I agree with everything you said! Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Love this post about building trust and rapport with your co-teacher when providing in-class support for students. From my experience, it is spot on! I would add is that doing these things regularly can lead to meaningful co-teaching. eltplanning.com/2024/05/04/in-…

An equal partnership is a HUGE part of making a collaborative teaching partnership work!

@MsMteachesELLs @ls_gibson @johnnysteph Thanks Lindsay for the time, care and expertise you bring to our co-planning that benefits student learning!

@FairburnNancy @ls_gibson @johnnysteph Love how it worked out with the sticky notes!

The diamond ranking strategy never fails to foster critical thinking. Picked it up so many years ago through Peter Seixas’ histoical thinking & ⁦⁦⁦@ls_gibson⁩ ⁦A perfect match for this learning on values and beliefs ⁦@MsMteachesELLs⁩ ⁦@johnnysteph⁩
