Through consulting, coaching, and the #MLLEcosystemProject I tried to walk in my values and help others walk in theirs. Thank you to the educators across the 🌎 who trusted me to be apart of their learning journey. #multilingualecosystem #mllscando

January is the perfect time to be in community with other equity minded educators. Whether you are an educational leader designing systems aligned with your values, or an educator strengthening your instructional toolbox, we are stronger when we learn and grow in community together.

Sustained partnerships are the best partnerships. Joined Seisen International School. This year we dove into the #coteachingadventure. So grateful to see how the teachers meaningfully engaged as they rumbled with new ideas and worked to be flexible in their #instructionaldesign.

I'm delighted to be partnering with Tucson Regional Educator Collaborative to bring this workshop to early years educators in September. How can we honor the joyful, play-based spirit of early childhood while supporting language development for all learners—especially our multilinguals?

Finishing up a 7 month partnership with a school here in Tucson. Bittersweet. We were working to find our #collectiveefficacy through our #instructionaldesign in #earlyliteracy. I’ll miss the teachers and I’ll miss the kids.

I had a great time yesterday, presenting with International School Services #ISSedu on Dynamic Differentiation. Participants moved beyond the basics, disrupting misconceptions, and walked away with lots of #differentiation strategies, with a layer of reflective questioning to guide students.

purple and pink dreamy sunset. Shadow of a hill with sillohuetes of children running on it. Text reads Essential Question in script font at top. Bottom right text reads "How can we design differentiated learnign experiences for our multilingual learners that nurture voice, choice, and agency?"

How is our differentiation design helping our learners understand themselves better and feel ownership over their learning?
