What an incredible opportunity to watch @NortheastECHS (previous @InternationalHS) students present alongside @DrZelayaSpeaks at TABE. They shared their goals & spoke about the role education plays in their future. Were so proud to see them step up as leaders & advocates 🤩

[Dra. Cody Fernandez @cstarrfernandez]

Such a treat to be celebrated today. We have an amazing team ❤️

The @AISDMultilingue team presented the bridge and cross-linguistic connections to our @AustinISD coaches.

Creating a district level PLC is a critical element of success for ESL teachers who are often the lone ESL teacher on their campus. So glad to see this amazing group of teachers come together for learning and collaboration! @nharboure @DrDiaz_AISD

[AISD Multilingual Ed @AISDMultilingue]

So proud of our amazing ESOL & ELDA teachers who attended yesterday’s training hosted by our department! 🙌 Here’s what they had to say: 'I feel more confident and supported after today's session!' 'As a first-year teacher…this training is INVALUABLE.' @nharboure

[Dra. Cody Fernandez @cstarrfernandez]

Yesterday we kicked off the second year of the Newcomer Empowerment Initiative with some focused time with the new group, an assembly for all students at IHS, and a powerful parent meeting. This year is going to be great! @InternationalHS @DrZelayaSpeaks @AISDMultilingue

[AISD Multilingual Ed @AISDMultilingue]

Can't wait to see you @TA4BE Conference 2024. @AustinISD is proud to showcase our @AISDMultilingue program excellence. Be sure to schedule a campus visit to our Mandarin-English DL campus, our Vietnamese-English DL campus, or our International High School. So much to see!

[Dra. Cody Fernandez @cstarrfernandez]

This really is concerning. Older recently arrived students should not be denied access to public education AND the system needs to create flexible pathways for them to reach graduation. https://t.co/D2NWOPqdWY

@DrBK_GlobaLingo @TA4BE @sched See you there!
