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?

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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.

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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.

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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.

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

@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

[Matt Hajdun @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!

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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.

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

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.

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

@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!

“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.

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

@KatieToppel @SIOPModel You really can do it all!

[Matt Hajdun @HajdunHomeroom]

@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.
