A2: The lack of face to face contact is hard on kids. However, there is more openness in talking about mental health and how we can support each other. #PubPDasia #pubPDglobal #tismacao #growingwithgrit

A4: we have been so fortunate TIS Macao. There has been an open dialogue, our concerns and suggestions have been heard and acted on where they could be. #PubPDasia #pubpdglobal #growingwithgrit

A1: spending time with friends and doing our best not to just hide away. #PubPDasia #tismacao

#PubPDasia A1: An inclusive language policy, offering classes in different languages, more international teaching staff, signs and posters in multiple languages, teaching trans languaging the classroom. #tismacau

Multicultural community days, big CNY celebrations, kindy mystery readers in different languages, singing in many different languages in Music class, Happy BD in the child’s home language, cultural comparisons in Social Studies curriculum, library books, #PubPDasia

A3: When interviewing, admin always asks what experience with multilingual learners the applicant has, no matter what position they are applying for. They ask for specific examples on how they support ML learners in their classroom. #pubpdasia #tismacau

A4: using multiple mediums to develop conceptual understanding, focusing on vocabulary - specifically in specialist classes, developing subject specific vocabulary through first language learning, intentional planning #pubpdasia #tismacau

A1: As a teacher, be transparent when we are using AI. Make it normal to talk about and discuss. #PubPDasia #pubPDglobal

A2: It’s not a one size fits all situation. Teachers need information that is differentiated and they need to try stuff where they are at in their capabilities. #PubPDasia #pubPDGlobal

A3: it is about learning to be a critical thinker, no matter what you are using. We need to continually build these in our students and teachers. #PubPDasia #pubPDGlobal
