As our learning spaces continue to evolve into more equitable and inclusive ones, it's imperative that we keep adding to our best practice toolkits. Translanguaging is an essential tool in our repertoire. Our learners are eager to engage in culturally responsive classrooms and content, and creating those spaces that value their multilingual identities is imperative. Join me for a weekend of building a translanguaging toolkit that will serve as the foundation for valuing multilingualism and nurturing a culture of equity in your school.
