Hey #actfl23 @actfl it looks like you don’t show up on the app for friends to share presentations with you unless you set up your profile. Go to the top left little red lines, then tap to set up.

Wow! Democracy at its finest. 🙄
At a forum yesterday, we were asked how to contact legislators with ideas or concerns. The repub next to me said give $ to his campaign and he is more included to talk with you. And he meant it.

Yes! This is a critical message for ALL learners, but especially to value and support our heritage learners. It’s especially meaningful to see this while attending #ACTFL23 with SO many excellent WL educators.
ED is launching “Being Bilingual is a Superpower” – a new initiative to promote multilingual education, high-quality language programs, & a diverse multilingual educator workforce across the country. ed.gov/news/press-releases/b…

So true!
Replying to @kalpenn
@kalpenn has me thinking about “practical compromises” as #ACTFL23 keynote. Where in my day-to-day do I need to consider some of these? When do I need to self advocate for my needs and where could my students use the same grace?

How do you define success? Focused on students and outcomes: are they having fun, is my program successful. Winning this award, changed her focus. More involvement with advocacy not only for her students but for her whole profession. Yey! @kamenetzkyJP #actfl23

My memories reminded me that @pamwesely & I were together on this day in 2017 and today for @actfl Assembly of Delegates! I feel so fortunate to share these professional learning opportunities with her. #ACTFL23 #AOD23 Thank you, @iwla!

#AOD23 Surviving & Thriving: Embracing Strategies for WL Programs in Higher Education. @benrifkin’s message to educators: If your university mentions a “new vision statement,” get on that committee & make sure that these words are included: World, global & international. #ACTFL23

The IA Board of Regents did their own study and decided that Iowa college students don't need to be aware of the concepts of diversity, inclusion, and equity. Future employers, the good ones, will expect Iowa graduates to be well-versed in DEI concepts. desmoinesregister.com/story/…

My anniversaries on this site are intricately linked to my time with @iwla since I signed up at a tech workshop! I can’t wait to enjoy #IWLA23 later this week.

Emmett Till should be 82 today. His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, ensured that the world saw how gruesomely her 14 year-old child was murdered. Racism isn’t disagreement. Families grieve. Communities mourn. Dreams wither. Humanity suffers. People perish. Remember Emmett Till.

Just what I needed today!
Tenemos que hacer una confesión: en Radio Ambulante y @elhilopodcast amamos los memes de Julio Iglesias 🤣🤣🤣 Y como es viernes y mañana empieza julio, decidimos que sí, que vamos a abrir un hilo del tema 👇
