Writing this Focus Bulletin with my @WIDA_UW colleague was a labor of love. It never felt enough to promote the philosophy of taking an asset-based approach to teaching. Inspired by @Ready4rigor, this #WIDA Focus Bulletin expands the philosophy into a cycle of actions.

[WIDA™ @WIDA_UW]

This new #WIDA Focus Bulletin reframes the WIDA Can Do Philosophy as a can do cycle of actions that can be embedded into teaching and learning experiences throughout the entire school year: https://t.co/9itaEqMYI2

@WIDA_UW
We had a time this week! 4 full days of learning with some inspiring educators at the #WIDA Institute in Singapore. Met some familiar faces and new friends. ❤️ I hold so much gratitude for these amazing people and how much I learned from them.

Seeing all of the "collaboration menus" from the Stretching your Co-Teaching and Collaboration workshop with @AndreaHonigsfel and @NordmeyerJ had me thinking about my own menu. Made a few small tweaks and then added a "Chef's Special." Still a work in progress! @WIDA_UW #ELL

Identity-Based Harm is an under-recognized part of child safeguarding. @PerrerasAlysa and I offer policy language for international schools and ed orgs to use in order to start correcting this oversight.

Powerful TIE Online article (@teach_overseas) from @NordmeyerJ on charging an "EAL fee" in schools.

"If a school is committed to DEIJ, it's hard to reconcile a fee structure that upholds barriers and perpetuates discrimination..."https://t.co/M36q4bjM5J

My mouth is a battlefield!
A clash of unyielding cultures warring for dominance
See, my tongue is a traumatized survivor…

Approaching our role of educator as both leader and learner moves us off of the stage as the sole expert and into the community as one of many valuable members. Ocean Vuong reminds us of how powerful collaborative learning can be.

We did it! 4 long, inspiring days of making new professional connections and real friends. What a crew of inspiring educators @KISbangkok that I was so lucky to engage with @WIDA_UW International Institute. Until we meet again💙

[Jon Nordmeyer 🌎 @NordmeyerJ]

Looking forward to stretching our thinking about collaboration with @AndreaHonigsfel as we focus on culture, structures, strategies and systems!

Join us for our next workshops in Singapore (Dec 10-11) and Rome (Mar 11-12)

We are halfway through the @WIDA_UW International Institute and it has already been an enriching experience. So happy to be working with intl educators at @KISbangkok campus, engaging in the practices that we promote among our students--collaboratively building on our expertise.

At the end of our unit let's reflect on our instruction. Which practices and activities helped or hindered student learning? #WIDA2022 @MissNelsonEAL
