Are you a dual language @iborganization #PYP school? We are wondering if anyone might be willing to share their schedules with us @AIS_Eagles. We are putting together a task force to review our daily schedules to meet the needs of our learners. Looking for some inspiration.
We had lots of fun building our Primary School parent community @AISLearns using @KaganOnline w/ StandUp, HandUp, PairUp structure to share ideas about what makes a highly effective school.
Great @ibpyp provocation for our @AISLearns Ss starting inquiry around changes in technology over time. Lots of great observations & questions in multiple languages!
Working in a school like @AISLearns w/ 4 language programs is SO exciting. Today I had a chance to see a wide variety of scaffolds used by our outstanding Chinese Ts to provide differentiated instruction to get Ss engaged in all language domains.
Working w/ our @AISLearns Grade-level Leaders to identify & share our @SchoolReformInc Compass Points leadership styles in order to self reflect, build community, promote understanding & lay the foundation for norm building.
Our Primary School Leadership Team took 30 minutes to interview 5 students each about their thoughts on community on our fourth day of school. Here are just some of the responses that brightened our day @AISLearns.
We are back @AISLearns, Primary School staff unpack the complex relationship between identity, community, and belonging w/in our intentional inclusive, multilingual learning environment.
First retreat w/ our @AIS_Eagles Primary School Leadership Team. We took time to share 9 identity markers and find connections btwn who we are & how that impacts our actions & sense of belonging in shared spaces.

As educators, we say we are working to be more culturally responsive and sustaining, but are we really? Or, is it all performative?#duallanguage #culturallyresponsivepedagogy #culturallysustainingpedagogy #ESL #EAL #ELD #ENL #bilingual #bilingualism #translanguaging
Thankful for the opportunity from @teach_overseas to reflect on transitions. Grateful to @columbus_school for the opportunity to be a part of the TCS family & happily looking forward to serving the @AIS_Eagles community.

Our youngest learners @columbus_school had time to shine today as we explored the ways our youngest writers grew in both English & Spanish, y ¡fue una celebración! Ss were transferring writing skills & vocab btwn their languages.

Thanks to @ISC_Research for holding space to discuss ways in which we can support our multilingual learners in equitable ways by creating systems & mindsets around Ss' assets - for which there are many!

NEW: Building Justice into Exams for Multilinguals.
#ELL #ESL #MLLchat @Larryferlazzo #edutwitter
For many multilinguals exams are a reading & writing test in disguise. Language specialists @TanKHuynh & @easkelton show ways to assure testing is just.

Celebrating all of the ways our @columbus_school emergent bilinguals have grown as writers this year. Looking at Ss writing from August & May, comparing/contrasting growth btwn both language programs in our one-way dual language school. ¡Hay tanto para celebrar!
Excited to join an @ISC_Research panel on multilingualism for the #EdruptorsConference coming up soon. It's free! Can't wait to learn & share about ways to promote equity & agency for our language learners in international schools.
