Thank you to everyone who attended @SamaraSpielberg and my workshop @actfl! We really enjoyed sharing our work with you. For those who asked for our presentation handout: https://t.co/ysBddOkNTs
Excited to be bringing this workshop: Becoming Agents of Change: The Work BEFORE the Work to #ACTFL21. Just like us, it's serious, but also fun.
Please join us for our 1pm #simulive on Saturday! Note: We'll likely be interpretive dancing to @Adele before, during, and after.
Stretch your hammies, @NYSAFLT because @Stephen_Krawec & I are brushing off the GoogleSlides tomorrow to show you how we bring #FUN into our #Reading units…(& everything else, including “serious” professional photo shoots where none of our pics can be used 😂) #NYSAFLTSI21
We are so proud of our faculty, who are truly master teachers and experts in their field! Spanish Department Head Samara Spielberg and Spanish Teacher Stephen Krawec were recently awarded the Best of NECTFL Award at the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
A #Pride reminder:
24 anti-LGBTQ laws have been enacted in states this year.
13 of them are explicitly anti-trans.
The fight for equality is far from over.
#Pride is here, and so is The Trevor Project 🧡
1.8 million LGBTQ young people have seriously considered suicide in the U.S. in the past year. We're here for LGBTQ youth who need us with free 24/7 crisis resources 📲

This level of support is why I could never work for anyone else, even though I resign every single day ❤️ Find yourself a boss who will get into the 🥊 ring for you
I’m so disappointed in myself to learn that I financially & energetically supported a co. that so openly goes against my belief system as a human & educator b/c I got so caught up in the language learning that I didn’t go deeper. Ss= human beings 1st, language learners 2nd.Punto.
Whoaaaaa!!! Grateful to have both colleagues and students I can grow, laugh, learn, and make mistakes with! @Stephen_Krawec so proud of you, of us, of our magical (yes magical) team, and our incredible @AllenStevenson_ community for leaning into the discomfort. #nectfl21
Absolutely floored to be honored alongside @SamaraSpielberg and @MattLaoshi—thank you @NECTFL1 and @AllenStevenson_ for the continued support! And thank you to all who attended and provided such helpful and insightful feedback!
Congratulations to @Stephen_Krawec and @SamaraSpielberg who were selected Best of #NECTFL21 for their session 111, and to @MattLaoshi, runner up with his session 125! You can still catch their sessions on demand (and you can still register 😉) Well done!
