Just got in to Philly tonight for #ACTFL24 I'm looking forward to talking about Fostering a Growth Mindset for Proficiency. Come join us tomorrow, Friday at 3:30 pm in 105A. Hope to see folks there - both old and new friends! #langchat

I'm honored to be presenting for the @ACTFL Community College SIG: Authentic Resources to Level Up: Growth-based Community College Curricula (Fri. 11:30 am) PRO TIP: this session will also be of interest to other post-sec and secondary colleagues, too!

Way to go, MAFLA! #mafla23

Hey, #Langchat I'm looking for resources for my daughter-in-law. It's for a Shabbat Around the World series for the kids in her synagogue; she's now looking for info on Jews/Jewish life in contemporary Spain, in English or Spanish. If you have a lead, please let me know!

Are you attending #MaFLA23? I'll be there, and I'll have the treat of helping teachers fill their toolkits in this highly practical workshop. Let your networks know - MaFLA is where we learn and grow together as professionals! @MaFLAonline #langchat

I am SO excited for the potential that the MassReconnect program has for our students at Greenfield Community College, and throughout the state of MA!

Fellow language teachers! I have 1 of my fav courses, SPA for Health Professionals, at GCC 5/23-8/31. Can you share? Fully online so folks can take it anywhere w internet access. No prereq: no prior experience in Spanish nec, but those w past language study also welcome.#langchat

YES!! It's critical to help students "own" their current proficiency, always bearing in mind the distinction btwn performance and proficiency: we need to couch it in terms of "performance toward proficiency." @MaestraAubreyCT #NECTFL23

A plea from a student on an NFLC panel about language learning: "Make it real." Let's keep this in mind every time we discuss student engagement! @MaestraAubreyCT #NECTFL23

Comparing real student samples on a single prompt, and their level/range of performance - priceless analysis to get us thinking. @MaestraAubreyCT #NECTFL23

Ready to dig in with @MaestraAubreyCT for "Meeting Them Where They’re at Through Thematic Planning" This will be rich! #NECTFL23

Love the idea of Lego-like "building blocks" in curriculum (re)design. Working on thinking big and thinking like a scientist with @RobuPrice and @JamesWildman #NECTFL23

Great, detailed info on the Global Seal of Biliteracy with @miprofeAP - Linda Egnatz breaks down the research on student motivation to persist in attaining that goal. #NECTFL23

I get to lead this Institute with @PEARLL this Jan! I'll share our dept's work here @GfldCommCollege aligning to principles of proficiency & why/how to make the shift. Join us, spread the word - hope colleagues give selves a gift & start the New Year off w new learning. #langchat

An amazing, outstanding, moving, inspiring, and passionate testimonio by the inimitable @AbelardoAlmazan ¡Se lo agradezco un montón! #actfl2022 #ACTFL22

Incredibly moving to hear our keynote speaker @chefjoseandres talking to us from the newly linerated city of Kherson, Ukraine, where he is building longer tables with World Central Kitchen. #actfl2022

And then at #ACTFL2022, on Sat at 5:30, also in 157B, I'll be joining my colleague @spanishprof24 Erika Stevens to talk about WL certificates and credentialing at the comm coll.

Everybody ready for #actfl2022 ? I'll be up *very* early to drive to Boston for the keynote! It'll be great to reconnect F2F w friends and colleagues. Join me Fri 1:30 in 157B; we'll be talking curriculum redesign for proficiency https://t.co/B2ScaE2jJW It's hard but fun work!!

#chq2022 @just_shelter Are there any ways to wipe clean people's records of eviction? Would this make a difference in their being able to find a decent new home? If so, what organizations could help advocate for them and how?

#chq2022 @asymmetricinfo In the context of the housing crisis and the shortage of options for those seeking homes, what is the impact of seniors trying to "age in place" in large houses that once housed whole families?
