After months and months of writing, the textbook was on display at #ACTFL19. So proud of this work 😊

I loved seeing this display in front of Senator Harris' office in Washington DC when I attended the Assembly of Advocates at #ACTFL19. #worldlanguages @KamalaHarris

"There's an achievement gap between different demographics. The dual language program is one of the ways, one of the only ways I know of, that actually closes that achievement gap."

I believe B.F. Skinner and his educational theory on behaviorism is the greatest enemy of the 21st century classroom. A lot has changed in education and our world but our classrooms and our grading practices do not reflect that.

@sracicak @PLANNV I’m so glad you were able to come!

[Melissa Carson @profmcarson]

I’m reading the book “Grading for Equity” and tonight I read this quote “we preach the gospel of learning but we make students genuflect to the alter of points.” Sobering!

I am going to start a conversation for my students. I want them to know that more people than just their language teachers speak another language. If you want to participate use the hashtag #morthan1 to participate.
