Attention all actors! #ACTFL is on the search for native or heritage speakers of several languages including Arabic, German, Koren, Japanese and Thai for audio & video production. If you meet this criteria and want to put your acting skills to use, contact [email protected].

I’m reading the book “Grading for Equity” and tonight I read this quote “we preach the gospel of learning but we make students genuflect to the alter of points.” Sobering!

I believe B.F. Skinner and his educational theory on behaviorism is the greatest enemy of the 21st century classroom. A lot has changed in education and our world but our classrooms and our grading practices do not reflect that.

"There's an achievement gap between different demographics. The dual language program is one of the ways, one of the only ways I know of, that actually closes that achievement gap." #duallanguage #wlteach bit.ly/2O9eg8D

I loved seeing this display in front of Senator Harris' office in Washington DC when I attended the Assembly of Advocates at #ACTFL19. #worldlanguages Kamala Harris

#langchat what are your thoughts? When assessing the interpretive mode, students read or listen in the target Language but should the assignment that follows be written in English or the target Language?

I am going to start a conversation for my students. I want them to know that more people than just their language teachers speak another language. If you want to participate use the hashtag #morthan1 to participate.
