Is using "I Can" enough to make the statements communicative? You'd probably guess that there is a little more to it. #wlclassroompodcast https://t.co/i1FMhpxdtg

@jmhenner Similar to TERF arguments, no? I argue inclusion is stronger than exclusion. Lots to explore on this topic.

I created an interactive #Path2Proficiency for Ss to better understand the different levels.
It has a 🔗 to a Digital Portfolio where they can keep track of what they Can-Do. Easily editable.

We’re excited to share our latest paper on a topic that’s a bit different from our normal focus on speech, but is incredibly important to us. Neurophysiology of sign language production now available in @CurrentBiology [https://t.co/2tUXw9AYyU] 1/10

As we enter a new and difficult school year, be reminded that just as you do not ask for perfection from your students, you do not need to ask for perfection from yourself. #langchat #wlteach #education #mondaymotivation

Been working on ideas for a lesson plan framework to support language teachers in planning for remote learning. Here is my first attempt; https://t.co/KZszHYp20F. I will continue to add to it and make it better.

LCISD online resources for secondary students 👍🏼

[Jason E. Zinza @drZinza]

@catmackinnon Any link you could share or point me where I could see it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen MSL. Curious me :-)

[Leslie Grahn @grahnforlang]

Google Doc of activities students can do remotely called "Language Practice Choice Board." They are intentionally generic and non-language specific, ready to use resources without the need of teacher preparation or paid subscriptions.

@lsgram @actfl Disappointing to see yet again @actfl disregarding ASLTA when trying to educate yourselves about #ASL. Ya know, one of your organizational members and the only national association of ASL educators. ACTFL’s marginalization of language expertise is shameful. #nationalaslta

Here are a few helpful digital tools to enhance world language instruction, according to Elena Spathis, a high-school Spanish teacher in New Jersey.

@ITPdirector Your statement presumes the purpose of deaf clubs was to teach ASL to non-deaf people. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Deaf clubs exist/ed for deaf community members for their own social purposes. The decline of deaf clubs is due to increased comm. options: tty, pagers, vrs.

@kemmorey1 @FHSWarriors @cyberprincipal Any response as principal of the school?

[Jason E. Zinza @drZinza]

@rain_bosworth @KatBrockway @FallbrookUHSD @cyberprincipal Might want to examine your hiring policies regarding ASL instruction. Discriminatory much? ADA Title 1 violater? Stuff lawsuits are made of. @NAD1880 @NationalASLTA
