In this workshop, we will dive into some of the key components of personalized learning: translanguaging, collaboration, and inclusion. Participants will learn more about translanguaging and see various examples of how it can be effectively implemented. We will learn how wordless media can create powerful, inclusive learning opportunities for all learners. We will also explore ideas for celebrating the diversity of our learners and making multilingualism more visible in school. Participants will have opportunities to collaborate and work on their own personal translanguaging and wordless media projects that they can apply directly to their own school. We will also investigate how systems and structures can support inclusion and promote collaboration. We will share how our school has changed our educational framework to intensify the collaboration between members of the support team and between teacher teams in order to optimize personalized, inclusive learning. The goal of this workshop is for participants to feel inspired and prepared to support multilingual learners in their own schools. There will be hands-on activities and opportunities to develop meaningful lessons and plans to use in your own practice. We hope you join us for an interesting and enriching day of learning together!
