Reimagining language instruction as implicit learning can provide equal opportunities for success. @MartinaBex #iflta21

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Reflecting: what are our core beliefs about language acquisition? Where did they come from? Asks @MartinaBex at the #iflta21 keynote.

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Language can break down barriers. @MartinaBex reminds us how language connects us. #iflta21

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Saying hello and celebrating our first in-person conference in 2 years! With @MartinaBex at #iflta21

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

@MartinaBex @LizethKreidie @TFLA_Tweets Thank you! We had so much fun!

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

@Elisabeth13 @MartinaBex Super excited to see you there! (This is Elicia)

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

@Prof_F_Henshaw @PRHSspanish I love this so, so, so much.

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

@CarolGaab @MartinaBex Honestly, it depends; if my partner and I agree on essentials, I don't mind working in partners; if we are coming from different places, I might not be able to process simply because we are speaking from different worldviews.

@FrauGosling @MartinaBex If there is a compelling instructional reason to make folks work together (there might be), do it. If not, any kind of choice we can give in class is a good one!

The other great thing about watching @IndwellingLang is that there are always multiple layers of learning- tips for writing a sentence on the board, plus modeling, plus whatever the workshop is about. #cireboot

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Modeling incredible vulnerability and ways to really see our students in their glorious complexity. Living it, not just talking about it. #equityteaching #cireboot with @IndwellingLang

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Include this language for novices when doing PQA:maybe, it depends, sometimes, usually. Students are more than binary answers. #cireboot with @IndwellingLang

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Every. Single.Time.I do a workshop with @IndwellingLang I learn something profound. Some things. Many things. #cireboot

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Now @MagisterBracey is sharing resources from the amazing Keith Toda (a coach for ABC Acquisition Boot Camp), @MartinaBex and others. Love how we support and share with each other.#CIREBOOT

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Q1 What do I NEED to make it through tomorrow? Do that. Q2 What would be COOL if I did it? Probably don't do that. Survive before you thrive. Wisdom from @MagisterBracey #CIREBOOT

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

Who is the "beauty" for? I connect this idea to the pinterest-worthy classroom (your classroom does not have to be pinterest worthy from The Cornerstone for Teachers). #fewerthingsbetter #CIREBOOT

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

And..."simplicity over beauty". #truthforteachers #CIREBOOT The simpler it is, the more people can access it. From @MagisterBracey

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

@MagisterBracey telling us how to work smarter not harder:use others' free resources, share and share alike. And don't resources in other languages #CIREBOOT

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

"If they are all being successful, that means you're succeeding." #nofailure More brilliance from @MagisterBracey #CIREBOOT

[Deskless Classroom @DesklessC]

@MagisterBracey speaking my language: easy and equitable grading- no failure, don't grade homework, no curve, and more. #obesssedwithequitableassessment #CIREBOOT
