I thoroughly enjoyed today's MinneSLIFE event. It was so great to be among educators focused on the needs of our SLIFE students and community! @minnetesol.bsky.social

Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting with my colleagues from the Math community at the @mctm-mn.bsky.social Conference about the intersection of ELT and Math. Thank you to my co-presenters! It was also a blast listening to the symposium speakers & learning from MN Math educators.

So greatful for the opportunity to attend the first annual CAPI AAPI Summit! I got hear one of my favorite speakers @kaokaliayang.bsky.social and hear new ones like Sam Hyun! The theme of the summit was resilience but I also felt belonging and community. "Lead in uncommon ways." - Kao Kalia Yang

Calling all Minnesota ML Educators, let's connect and talk about this book! @minnetesol.bsky.social #MNEducators #MultilingualLearners #ML #MinneTESOL #LILA

Using aspects of the Building Thinking Classroom for an Urdu classroom simulation with non-Urdu speaking educators continues to prove to me that this approach to instruction not only works but is engaging. #btmc #btc #buildingthinkingmathclassrooms

Morning Affirmation: I believe in my best and strive for growth.

Excited to kick off this book study 📚 🎉

Please share with math educators who are interested!

Student-centered #TeacherTip: Students do not all have the same background knowledge or readiness. Asking well-crafted questions is one of the best ways to differentiate instruction, so prepare a set of questions as a resource.
