"I as a teacher don't need to know what every word in your brainstorm means." @ProfHeatherW@ILAToday#ILAIntensive
Students need to use their entire linguistic repertoire to make meaning. We shouldn't put limitations on their thinking because of our linguistic skill or comfort.
"We need to say [to the families of all our learners]: you are an asset to your child's education in ALL languages" says @ProfHeatherW. So many excellent ideas re making space for linguistic choice & expression in @ILAToday's #translanguaging strategies webinar. #ILAIntensive
Vibing w it all @ProfHeatherW! #Translanguaging across the school community has been my favorite part of this work. Interactive bulletin boards, environmental language hunts, signmaking parties, multilingual book clubs, storytelling, community writing... #ILAIntensive@ILAToday
.@ProfHeatherW will explore how #translanguaging pedagogies can help educators connect to communities and engage with students’ families and caregivers. #ILAIntensive. https://t.co/NQlVZXBDrl
Our next #ILAIntensive will feature keynotes by Dr. Ofelia García, whose work brought #translanguaging to the forefront of #multilingual instruction, and Dr. @kate_anna, whose research is rooted in teaching emergent #bilingual high school students. https://t.co/NQlVZXBDrl
@nyuniversity faculty @ProfHeatherW and @ESaldivargarcia will facilitate a workshop on ways to review curricular texts informed by raciolinguistic ideologies, critical race theory, and sociocultural theories of literacy.

Really flattered by everyone sharing that tweet about casting me as Katara in ATLA but I understand I may not be the perfect person for the role. SO I present Snowguard, an Inuk Marvel superhero. @Marvel your move
