Learning with @MaestraOlivia and @IL_Resource_Ctr today and thinking on translanguaging, identities, bilingualism, and classroom communities. Empowered and ready for SY 24!
One of the most beautiful aspects of EmpowerCon has been the love of languages on display, from the ever-growing #LoveOurLanguages board to @MaestraOlivia’s powerful poetic ode to bilingualism & translanguaging!
I’m always happiest when I’m in our schools building relationships with our students, educators, and administrators, and day four was no different! Thank you to the teams at @FiskeElementary, @CPSFairfieldES, and @PECHighSchool for welcoming me today. #TheBestAreWithCPS
