Professional learning today provided opportunities for colleagues to reconnect with each other, the land, and our learners' English learning journey through our session: Empowering ML teachers and ML students with the MyEd AIP. It was magical! School District 43 Coquitlam Teachers Learning Services SD43

With so many new to-role teachers supporting our Multilingual/ELL newcomers, ELL pedagogy district training is essential. Thank you for joining us last! The Coquitlam Academic Literacy Framework will provide your students with explicit instruction essential for success. School District 43

Wanted to share this from a future presentation I'm facilitating. "A student’s language is rocket fuel for learning another language, not chains that hold students down."

Might a Literacy Lab be a responsive starting place for secondary late-to-literacy Multilingual/English learners? Might making content comprehensible for learners in the P.M.S.S. pilot provide access? Followed by SUCCESS! School District 43 Coquitlam Teachers Port Moody Secondary

Beyond proud to represent School District 43 and advocate for B.C. ELL in Victoria as the ELL advisor at the Ministry of Education. Might my advocation align with the island sunshine and empower B.C. Multilingual school communities?

" When there's tea there's hope..." Thank you to the wonderful Centennial students who hosted tea time. An engaging and "low-floor/ high ceiling" activity to introduce themselves, their culture, and traditions to school peers and teachers. School District 43 Coquitlam Teachers

Inspired by the grade 12 Capstone Presentations at Heritage Woods Secondary today. Especially moved by the oral language strengths of a former Multilingual/English learner as they proudly shared their project. School District 43 HWSS Events

Honoured to be working with this team as we deep dive into Secondary Reporting and Assessing by engaging in discussions with secondary teachers. School District 43 Coquitlam Teachers Learning Services SD43

What a fantastic and inclusive way to share where in the world "everyone" in the school comes from. Every student, teacher, support staff, and administrator have a place on the board. Coquitlam Teachers School District 43 Learning Services SD43 Roy Stibbs Elementary School

Another fantastic professional learning session for Coquitlam Multilingual/ELL teachers! We aligned our own learning stories with the Indigenous People's Principals of Learning and viewed the MyEd AIP through holistic, reflexive, and experiential lenses. School District 43 Learning Services SD43

Caz, Though your reputation precedes you... Thank you for an excellent pro d day session. I appreciated how it was professionally engaging, yet the time seemed to have wings. The key takeaway for me is that I now feel more empowered to handle those AIPs. School District 43 Learning Services SD43

Honored to present at the B.C. MyEd Conference and share School District 43 Coquitlam's MyEd AIP Road Map: Implementation, Training, and Sustainability. Grateful to Dave Sands (he/him) for his support and leadership. Learning Services SD43

Go gentle into that good night, Daddy Rage no more at the dying of the light Sleep, perchance, sweet, sweet dreams, forevermore I love you!

In honour of my Dad who took me to my first Star Wars movie. May the 4th and the force always be with you!

My Daddy passed on Saturday. He was my first "teacher," my champion, and my heart. He joked that "his buddy," Neil Diamond, wrote a song about me (Sweet Caroline) and nicknamed me "Caz" for the days when I wasn't as "sweet." I will miss him.

Creating MyEd AIPs to plan for 2023/2024 Multilingual/EL Learning at Pinetree Way Elementary was one of this week's highlights! School District 43

What a privilege it has been to learn from and be inspired by these School District 43 colleagues. Some of these "women of wisdom" are retiring and some are moving on to new teaching adventures. Our hearts burst with gratitude for their passion and commitment to education and learning.

Coquitlam schools have digital learning plans for their 2023 2024 Multilingual/English language learners in place for September! PHEW! 42 "house calls" and 4 AIP working sessions in May and June have proven to be most beneficial. School District 43 Coquitlam Teachers Thank you ELL teachers and LST's!
