EDIS 5422 and 7890 connections:

Translanguaging

• Encourages the fluid movement between languages in multilingual students (Najarro, 2023) • A developing more translanguaging practices and advocating for its expansion in my school a major near-term goal •I plan to design an innovation related to translanguaging for EDIS 7890

Developing a critical mindset:

Such as how to critique a unit or lesson and how to evaluate an innovative idea.

• Is an activity actually good learning, or is it a “Grecian Urn”?
• “Does it consume far more of a student’s time than is reasonable in relation to its academic impact?” (Gonzalez, 2016).
• Is an innovation actually solving a problem, or is it just change for its own sake?
