It was great to be a part of today's conversation with @SenCortezMasto regarding her bill, Reaching English Learners Act, aiming to better fund teacher preparation programs focusing on emergent bilinguals.

Interesting stats regarding Europeans' views of multilingualism. Wonder how we compare in the US 🤔

Wonderful sharing our team's work, which highlighted elementary and secondary teachers' shifts toward a translanguaging-as-resource orientation in their conceptualizations of translanguaging, self-efficacy, and current practices . #AERA2024 @AERA_BerSig

Just found this relic hidden in an old resume portfolio. My name tag when I first interviewed to become a teacher in the Bronx as a NYC teaching fellow in 2006. 🥹 some of the best years #nycteachingfellow

Co-presented our study “Monolingual & multilingual in-service teachers’ conceptualization of translanguaging pedagogy in a teacher preparation program” at #AAAL2024 with the fab @DrSab_Sembiante

Excited our mixed-method study on translanguaging beliefs and practices in English-medium settings was accepted to #aera24! This study uniquely captures the perspectives of educators across grades and in varying content areas.

A true pleasure discussing & learning from teachers and fellow advocates of multilingual students on ways we could/should make students’ home languages more visible in policies & instruction, moving away from a monolingual/English-only lens. #nvedsummit23

In day 2 of the inaugural PUEBLO mini-conference, teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity in the efforts to better support emergent bilinguals.

In day 1 of the inaugural PUEBLO mini-conference, teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity in the efforts to better support emergent bilinguals. Only 1/4 of our graduating first cohort is pictured. So proud of this group.

A joy to present our work #aera2023 with @DrSab_Sembiante & Catherine Restrepo. This study revealed how DLBE teachers engaged in sustainable #translanguaging pedagogy to protect the vulnerable language, Spanish, in show-and-tell.

Always wonderful to share our #multimodal research, this time focusing on narrative retells. #SRCD2023 #SRCD23 @DrSab_Sembiante

Nevada is among the top five states furthest from meeting their projections for English learner (EL) teachers. We need to do better. #ccsd #nevadaeducation #nvleg #ell
