If you have the opportunity to learn another language, should you?

🙌🏻 It’s hard, but we need to remember it’s not always about us, even if we feel discomfort - discomfort can be growth! #edlr5402

Equity work is a journey, like many things in life. Continue to grow and evolve! Don't approach a situation defensively, but instead with an open mind and ear to listen. #EDLR5402 @BernsteinCT

Retweeting to share in case any of my #edlr5402 cohort peeps could use this resource!

Last beach read for this trip! I have been waiting to find a book like this! So excited to get started. #HackingSchoolDiscipline @10publications

65% of students at @BYU speak a second language. Here are some compelling reasons why more students should consider learning another #language.

And no grades for aesthetic! Not everyone has access to fancy tools or ‘pretty’ crafts. #edlr5402

@TeacherLingua Everyone in my WL department at HS does syllabi.

@BardosTiffany Tolerance is as bad as silence; neither are equitable, both perpetuate oppression.

@MsSarahRyan @KellyAnnSobo @FredEnde In London, did you note any differences in how SEL was approached? I’m curious about teacher and student buy-in and how that looked?

[Melissa Scarbrough @MmeScarbrough]

@KellyAnnSobo @FredEnde #edlr5402 cohort: Do you have experience teaching in a different country or culture? I have taught WL in France - super different!! 🇫🇷

[Melissa Scarbrough @MmeScarbrough]

@FredEnde the book you suggested came in! Can’t wait to dive in! #edlr5402

@TheBarbashShow Accepting non-closure makes sense to me, but I know that’ll be the hardest thing to do!

[Julie Barbash @TheBarbashShow]

Four Agreements: 1) stay engaged 2) speak your truth 3) experience discomfort 4) expect and accept non-closure

#3 is huge - “why can’t you be uncomfortable?” - thank you for posing this question Dr. Wilson! #edlr5402 #getuncomfortable

[Melissa Scarbrough @MmeScarbrough]

@DrewSellitti @trussleadership The #liesmyteachertoldme has a second edition too that’s FANTASTIC! I’m also a little jealous of that book line up! I guess I’m going to #barnesandnoble later to get some! 🤓
