Sharing Learning and Celebrating Practice
Sharing practice across our 8 sites is critical in growing and capacity building. If you do not want your image to appear on photos of celebrated practices, please inform D.
Looking for Bloggers and contributors:
I am looking for a few people that would like to regularly contribute to this blog once a month. Those interested might write about the following themes:
- Spanish text complexity
- Engaging Latino and DL Families to each other, the program and the school
- Effective DL Leadership/perspectives
- Oracy and Metalinguistic Awareness Practices
- DL Parent perspective
- other
Please email D with your ideas! Also looking for photos of your kids in action!
