Just got in to Philly tonight for #ACTFL24 I'm looking forward to talking about Fostering a Growth Mindset for Proficiency. Come join us tomorrow, Friday at 3:30 pm in 105A. Hope to see folks there - both old and new friends! #langchat
I'm honored to be presenting for the @ACTFL Community College SIG: Authentic Resources to Level Up: Growth-based Community College Curricula (Fri. 11:30 am) PRO TIP: this session will also be of interest to other post-sec and secondary colleagues, too!
Hey, #Langchat I'm looking for resources for my daughter-in-law. It's for a Shabbat Around the World series for the kids in her synagogue; she's now looking for info on Jews/Jewish life in contemporary Spain, in English or Spanish. If you have a lead, please let me know!
Are you attending #MaFLA23? I'll be there, and I'll have the treat of helping teachers fill their toolkits in this highly practical workshop. Let your networks know - MaFLA is where we learn and grow together as professionals! @MaFLAonline#langchat
Fellow language teachers! I have 1 of my fav courses, SPA for Health Professionals, at GCC 5/23-8/31. Can you share? Fully online so folks can take it anywhere w internet access. No prereq: no prior experience in Spanish nec, but those w past language study also welcome.#langchat
YES!! It's critical to help students "own" their current proficiency, always bearing in mind the distinction btwn performance and proficiency: we need to couch it in terms of "performance toward proficiency."

A plea from a student on an NFLC panel about language learning: "Make it real." Let's keep this in mind every time we discuss student engagement! @MaestraAubreyCT#NECTFL23
Comparing real student samples on a single prompt, and their level/range of performance - priceless analysis to get us thinking. @MaestraAubreyCT#NECTFL23
Love the idea of Lego-like "building blocks" in curriculum (re)design. Working on thinking big and thinking like a scientist with @RobuPrice and @JamesWildman#NECTFL23
Great, detailed info on the Global Seal of Biliteracy with @miprofeAP - Linda Egnatz breaks down the research on student motivation to persist in attaining that goal. #NECTFL23
I get to lead this Institute with @PEARLL this Jan! I'll share our dept's work here @GfldCommCollege aligning to principles of proficiency & why/how to make the shift. Join us, spread the word - hope colleagues give selves a gift & start the New Year off w new learning. #langchat
