Harnessing the power of Bitmojis to promote creativity and engage learners in and out of the languages classroom

In order to “teach for social justice” one must first be able to read for social justice. This session will push participants to reimagine the idea of reading as an act of resistance, hope, and transformation.

This session is not only for coaches but for all educators who want to bring technology integration into their classes in an innovative and meaningful way.

This keynote will be followed by a panel discussion: Spotlight on Linguistic Equity in International Schools where Ceci will lead a panel of teachers of MLLs and leaders of international schools to tackle some of the big questions around linguistic equity practices in their communities. 

The presentation will share the experiences, insights and professional learning gained from the Discover journey and its impact on the future of education at our school.

This practical workshop will offer a powerful model for a DEIJ audit of our schools, which consists of the collaborative search for “spikes” within our schools and the cocreation of “curb cuts” that can help remove them.

In this workshop, we’ll dig into the key design principles and methods for learner-centered rubric design that disrupt some of the features of the most dominant approaches in the field: proficiency scales, deficit language, evaluation-focused rubrics, performance indicators that lack clarity, coherent progression, and/or are embedded with bias in their design or use.

This engaging workshop delves into a transformative approach to educational enhancement in the Middle School.
