Continuous classroom data from assessment as and for learning are helpful to educators and multilingual learners alike. Feedback to and among multilingual learners pushes their learning forward and feedback from educator to educator improves instructional practices. We invite teams of educators to participate in our interactive workshop to explore the processes for planning collaborative instruction and assessment for their specific context. The institute includes a reception and conversation with the authors where we discuss individual teams’ questions and quandaries.

Margo's & Andrea's Work Together
Margo and Andrea, along with their co-authors, Margarita Espino Calderon, Maria G. Dove, Diane Staehr Fenner​, Tonya Ward Singer, Shawn Slakk, Ivannia Soto, Debbie Zacarian
have written this first of its kind collaborative book for both teachers and leaders, whether in small towns or large urban centers, so they can finally have both the research and the practical strategies to take those first steps toward excellence in educating our culturally and linguistically diverse children. It’s a book to be celebrated because it means we can throw away the dark glasses of deficit-based approaches and see children who come to school speaking a different home language for what they really are: learners with tremendous assets.
