#ILOVEACTFL (Day 3!) Because having a large k-16 world language organization means we have a “seat at the table” for national discussions around standards, initiatives, Seal of Biliteracy, funding, etc.
#ILOVEACTFL because the Convention is where I have learned just about everything I know about curriculum, instruction, assessment, and advocacy for World Languages. @actfl#ACTFL23
@NECTFL you never disappoint. Congrats to Margarita and the NECTFL team for a great conference. Thank you to all the great presenters and attendees! #NECTFL23
Awesome session on Interpersonal Mode at #NECTFL23 today with Jimmy Wildman and Olga Gotta- here's an online version of the story cubes for anyone who wants to try out their ideas. eslkidsgames.com/esl-story-d…
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
@jhaxhi making me feel old. Think about our future students of the Class of 2041. What future skills will those students need? @NECTFL@actfl@DECTFL#nectfl23

- Joe serves as an Academic Dean and Modern Languages Department Chair at Marianapolis Preparatory School.
- He and his husband have a dog named Shelly who serves as a therapy dog for their school community!
Unbelievably inspired by the beautiful, giving spirit of @chefjoseandres. I often give my students quotes to interpret, put in their own words, and then connect to themselves. I can't wait to share with them, especially leading up to the holiday season. #ACTFL22
The perspective, the big picture, the despair, and yet amazing amount of hope coming from @chefjoseandres#actfl22 opening ceremony streaming from Ukraine is hard to describe and inspiring in a way I’m not sure I can process in this moment.
“Big problems have simple solutions”
Keynote Chef José Andrés expresses love through food & building “longer tables,” work made possible by using languages. He’s in Ukraine feeding people; as a speaker of Spanish, Catalan, and French, he addresses us in English, one of his non-native languages. #joseandres#ACTFL22
So many inspirational messages from José Andrés @WCKitchen@actfl#actfl22: In your hands lies the responsibility of nurturing the future leaders of the world.
