Looking forward to heading out to Albuquerque, NM to attend La Cosecha! We will be presenting virtual live stream on Thursday, Nov. 11th. Will we see you there?

Having serious FOMO about not being in person at La Cosecha this year, but I’m still excited to attend & present at #LaCosecha2021! Come join us as we discuss the benefits & steps to developing content integrated paired biliteracy curriculum maps! Adelante Group

Our presentation at La Cosecha was a success! We loved “seeing” so many join us. Even though it was virtual we could feel your energy and passion. Now onto continued learning! Seguimos con la cosecha! #LaCosecha2021

Had a great time teaching students how to share their learning about erosion through mingle,mingle with 4th grade DL at Robert Crown School! We also learned how to do inside/outside circle! Cooperative group strategies are fun and help use our academic language! Adelante Group

One of my favorite parts of curriculum development is seeing it all come together with resources! What a great day shopping for books with the incredible 4th grade team Fischer Elementary School Ariana Leonard, Ed.D

It has been a whirlwind of a year and we are beyond grateful! We hope everyone enjoys this much deserved break!

Using cooperative structures like the consensus placemat allows students to brainstorm their own ideas, share with their peers, then come to consensus as a group to formulate a response. Loved seeing this in a 4th grade DL class! @Bilingual118 Adelante Group

It was a privilege to visit the fabulous DL teachers yesterday with @RyanZak5! These teachers have been working so hard on developing biliteracy curriculum & I’m still smiling thinking about the deep learning happening in their classrooms!

It was a great two days with the CT team! And now we rest and enjoy the break!

I had so much fun teaching the consensus placemat strategy to this 4th grade dual class and loved listening to their discussions using talking chips & sentence frames! #oracy #cooperativelearning

I am so impressed by 5th grade DL ⁦Wauconda G.S.⁩ using Canva to publish their opinion articles relating to a school policy they want changed! Love their creativity & use of persuasive techniques! ⁦@Bilingual118⁩ #performancetask #yourvoicematters

I love working with these teachers!! So proud of their hard work this year. It was a great day of reflection and celebration of how far they’ve come in just one year! I can’t wait to see more of these units in action next school year!

You know it’s going to be a great 3 days when the first thing you see is affirmation of students bilingualism! So excited to be in DeKalb School District 428 @AmyCalypso We have a group in our initial 1.0 training & we have a returning group to dig deeper 2.0 #Biliteracy best practice in action!

What a great day in Skokie District 65. We started out Biliteracy PD series today. Lots of great conversations! Can’t wait to see you all in October for the next session! Mallory Fuessle

So much fun & positive energy from this wonderful group of instructional leaders! It was extra special to be back in the district where I received my education!

I’m honored to be able to support D75 Middle School DL teachers this school year! Super excited to see them bring the curriculum to life with their students!

Launching into a new week with building background & oracy activities with a 5th grade DL class through an observation chart & partner discussion using parallel lines! Adelante Group @Bilingual118

We had a great day of curriculum development Valley View Schools! We developed maps for both dual language & monolingual K/1. We are so excited about how this work will support and engage ALL learners! Adelante Group Hannah Harrold

Successful day of curriculum mapping with the dual/mono 5th grade team from Elmhurst CUSD 205! Their deep understanding of grade level standards & content made such a difference to the process! Can’t wait to dig into the units next time! Adelante Group
