Steven (he/him/his), NCPA - #PulaoProud, 100% multilingual students, #ISSedu, #pubpdasia

A1: Translanguaging allows folks from around the world to share their knowledge and ways of knowing in a way that honors their cultural assets and linguistic repertoires. #PubPDasia

A2: Amplifying multilingual voices allows schools to develop a strong community of discourse for all students. Students understand that different classmates have strengths and struggles during discussions across the school day. #PubPDAsia

A4: Showing students audiovisual examples of folks (scientists, artists, etc) speaking multiple languages at work - and prompting them to use their languages to explain concepts. #PubPDAsia

Some fun faces to welcome me back from Spring Break! #origami has been a great way to engage our #ELL and #emergentbilingual students as they create and teach new patterns to their classmates (and teachers). #pulaoproud

Who is attending the 2021 #WIDAeConference this week?!? Like and retweet this post! Check out the full 2021 #WIDA eConference agenda to plan your day: events.wida.us

A1: reconnecting with reading and running. And lots of conversations with friends (old and new) #PubPDasia

A2: Mats Haaland has been a great source of ideas as I continue to grow my coaching practice. #PubPDasia

Enjoyed presenting at #CPMTC2022! Great questions and conversations. #pulaoproud

Great day of planning and reflection with Mats Haaland and department leaders! Excited for the next steps of our content-language integration. #pulaoproud #wida

A1: I would promote resilience and openness to revising your thinking. These skills have served me well as an adult and I try to build in opportunities for students to flexibly collaborate and inquire. #PubPDasia #PubPDGlobal

A3: I encourage a culture of responding to the arts through visual, performance, and literary prompts. Then, my students can visit our school’s InnoHub to create an artifact (short film, Lego sculpture, etc.) to demonstrate understanding and creativity. #PubPDAsia #PubPDGlobal

A1: thinking about the (g)local connections between sustainability and social justice. How can students and schools use agency in their contexts? #PubPDAsia

A2: Developing an inquiry mindset, with both critical thinking and a sense of empathy when both questioning and listening #PubPDAsia

A1: we can think about how to augment capacities instead of amplifying inequity. My multilingual students benefit from translation software and Grammarly - lots of good conversations about what our brains can already do. #PubPDAsia

A3: ChatGPT and other AI tools can help BMLs share ideas across languages, particularly when they are emerging into literacy. I can imagine possibilities for English language learners, heritage language learners and students with other linguistic profiles. #PubPDAsia

An amazing experience connecting with colleagues in Beijing. #pulaoproud #ACAMISELL - via #Whova event app

A2: I’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with one team for three years. Planning, reflecting and celebrating student growth together has been incredibly powerful. #PubPDAsia #pulaoproud

A3: Attending the 2023 ACAMIS ELL Conference in Beijing. It was a great way to connect with other educators and learn about different tools and strategies. #PubPDAsia

A1: Knowing our students - their languages, their cultures, their heritages - and finding ways to intentionally honor those identities on a regular basis. Thanks for the conversation @inspire_dwnhall! #PudPDAsia
