AI is a big topic right now, and yesterday was a day of AI for me. I attended 2 PD sessions about using AI in my own school where I teach. Then, I led a virtual workshop on using AI to differentiate instruction and materials with language teachers at the The Catlin Gabel School in Portland, Oregon.

I worked with teachers in Tempe, Arizona today from two dual language (English/Spanish) elementary schools. Teachers worked collaboratively to create materials for their classrooms. A productive day working with these incredibly dedicated teachers.

Last day in #Nicaragua. One of the parents took this picture earlier today and then came back just as I was leaving and gave me a printed out version in a frame with the words: “Thank you for sharing your time and heart with us. Come back soon.”

There is a shop in Nicaragua I go to each time I visit to stock on supplies for the children’s project in La Concha. The most fun shopping trip of the year when I see how excited the kids and teachers are to get new supplies.

Have you ever wondered whether your tests, quizzes or assessments truly measure what your students can do with the language, or are they just looking at what students can memorize or explain about the language? #wlclassroompodcast 🎧▶️ podfollow.com/world-langua...

Teacher turnover is one of the most expensive challenges in American education. When teachers feel supported, they invest, get results and stay in the classroom. How can we do this? With an effective and repeatable framework. ➡️ theguidecycle.com

“No prep” doesn’t mean “no plan.” The key is to have a few reliable task types ready to go that you can easily plug into any topic or proficiency level. You don’t need extra materials or hours of planning to help students communicate meaningfully. ▶️ wlclassroom.com/nopreptasks/

When you think about participation in your classroom, who comes to mind first? Now think about everyone else. Participation in the language classroom is often defined by who talks the most, but that leaves a lot of students on the outside looking in. ▶️ wlclassroom.com/participation/
