Heartfelt thanks to Sunshine State TESOL for the behind-the-scenes magic in prepping for the upcoming virtual powerhouse. Having steered the ship as conference chair for NYSTESOL 2021 and been the co-pilot for Virtua-TELL ’22 and ’23, I’m well-versed in the grit and grind it entails. Here’s to a stellar conference! 🌟 Kudos to the team for their unwavering dedication. 👏

It is almost presenting time:

Saturday, Oct. 21, 9:00 AM – 9:45 AM 10:45 AM – 11:30 AM 1:30 PM – 2:15 PM STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE THROUGH COMMUNITY ASSET MAPPING IN THE CHATGPT ERA PRESENTER: JASMIN COWIN 7- STEP VOCABULARY STRATEGY TO BRIDGE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND CONTENT LITERACY PRESENTER: YEUKAI CHIROODZA- IMEH ENGAGE ENGLISH LEARNERS IN THE POETRY WRITING PROCESS BY UTILIZING POETRY FRAMES PRESENTER: LILLIAN RAMIREZ English learners can not only write poetry, they can shine! Five Pinellas County middle schools participated in a poetry project in which students in ESOL Elective Courses wrote a poem utilizing one of two poetry frames and were then published into a poetry book. Some students created bilingual versions of their poems. In the demonstration part of this session, you will view the poetry templates and examples, the finished product, and learn about the process. Then, you will have the opportunity to create a frame and example yourself that you could use with your students. As education moves into the age of generative Artificial Intelligence, it is important to consider the role of culturally responsive pedagogies and community asset mapping for enhancing student learning and achievement and proof of work. This practice oriented session will discuss and showcase practical frameworks on ways community asset mapping can be used as an example of culturally responsive pedagogy to leverage community resources and honor student identities and lived experiences. Additionally, we will delve into the re-framing and exploration of issues related to the use of generative AI in 21st-century language teaching and the concept of student proof of work.
