Want to teach in jammies and on scooters sometimes? We're looking for an EAL and Language Acquisition teacher to join our secondary school team in Bucharest this Fall 2022. aisb.ro/employment/employmen… #ellchat #multilinguallearners #myp #ealchat #ells #coteach
Advisory Ss helped me choose women on Kiva to lend $$ for Intl Women's Day. Tickled 2/3 groups connected to our Sci/Design inquiry into community gardens and chose to provide access to seeds for others to grow their own food #doubleup #IWD #SDGaction kiva.org/blog/why-you-should…
"For there is always light [...] if only we are brave enough to be it."
Young people doing amazing things inspires me and makes me hopeful. Plus, poetry ❤. Amanda Gorman has a new fan 🙋🏼♀️ and PBS has resources for using this in the classroom. pbs.org/newshour/arts/watch-…

PSA. Your students saying “ain’t”, “finna”, etc. are cultural. Instead of “correcting” them, talk to them about code switching and how amazingly SMART they are for being able to codeswitch between the two. Valuing your students’ identities means valuing the way they speak. – at Elmwood Park, IL
What are your go-to resources or books for translanguaging, co-teaching, and English language instruction in multilingual international contexts? #ellchat_bkclub @SarahOttow @TanELLclassroom @madalenaelshoff @readysetcoteach @
"Our job is not to transition kids to English. Our job is to help them sustain and expand their linguistic repertoires regardless of the setting in which we serve." 👏👏👏❤❤❤ sustain and expand.

MEMORIZE this quote:

From "what do you want to be when you grow up?" to "what problems do you want to solve as you grow?" Love this reframe of the classic question for so many reasons.
It's here! It's happening! #Multilingualismmatters #aisbmtc2019 #aisb #mothertongue #edchat #studentled
Feel like Google Translate just doesn't cut it? Curious about learning and maintaining languages? Want to meet other people who speak your Mother Tongues? Check out the student-led Mother Tongue Conference at #AISB. Oct 26, 10-1:30pm #multilingualismmatters
Glad to be part of a school that intentionally schedules collaborative planning time, and looking forward to using it more effectively as we continue defining our professional communities. #aisb
Are you beginning to form new collaborative relationships at your school? This can be overwhelming.
Tip: Start small, while considering the big picture. #coteachat @AndreaHonigsfel
Enjoyed this fast refresh. Fav go-tos: post, refer to, and require anchor chart use; encourage L1 in brainstorms; omit when length overwhelming; provide opportunities to preview material; confer during emerging production stages. cultofpedagogy.com/supportin…
Walked in to work to see this today. Proud to work with the young people I do. #changemakers @ American International School of Bucharest instagram.com/p/B2o9cykAmPWG… – at Voluntari, România
As the buzz of students fills campus this week, it's so great to reconnect with returning students and make new connections with others. #edchat #SEL #backtoschool
