A1: Knowing our students - their languages, their cultures, their heritages - and finding ways to intentionally honor those identities on a regular basis. Thanks for the conversation @inspire_dwnhall! #PudPDAsia
A3: Attending the 2023 ACAMIS ELL Conference in Beijing. It was a great way to connect with other educators and learn about different tools and strategies. #PubPDAsia
A2: Iโve been fortunate enough to collaborate with one team for three years. Planning, reflecting and celebrating student growth together has been incredibly powerful. #PubPDAsia#pulaoproud
A3: ChatGPT and other AI tools can help BMLs share ideas across languages, particularly when they are emerging into literacy. I can imagine possibilities for English language learners, heritage language learners and students with other linguistic profiles. #PubPDAsia
A1: we can think about how to augment capacities instead of amplifying inequity. My multilingual students benefit from translation software and Grammarly - lots of good conversations about what our brains can already do. #PubPDAsia
A1: thinking about the (g)local connections between sustainability and social justice. How can students and schools use agency in their contexts? #PubPDAsia
A3: I encourage a culture of responding to the arts through visual, performance, and literary prompts. Then, my students can visit our schoolโs InnoHub to create an artifact (short film, Lego sculpture, etc.) to demonstrate understanding and creativity. #PubPDAsia#PubPDGlobal
A1: I would promote resilience and openness to revising your thinking. These skills have served me well as an adult and I try to build in opportunities for students to flexibly collaborate and inquire. #PubPDasia#PubPDGlobal
Great day of planning and reflection with @haalandm and department leaders! Excited for the next steps of our content-language integration. #pulaoproud#wida

Some fun faces to welcome me back from Spring Break! #origami has been a great way to engage our #ELL and #emergentbilingual students as they create and teach new patterns to their classmates (and teachers). #pulaoproud
A4: Showing students audiovisual examples of folks (scientists, artists, etc) speaking multiple languages at work - and prompting them to use their languages to explain concepts. #PubPDAsia
A2: Amplifying multilingual voices allows schools to develop a strong community of discourse for all students. Students understand that different classmates have strengths and struggles during discussions across the school day. #PubPDAsia
A1: Translanguaging allows folks from around the world to share their knowledge and ways of knowing in a way that honors their cultural assets and linguistic repertoires. #PubPDasia
