Opportunities to engage with MLRC to explore research insights into teaching multilingual learners.
AMISA LeadCon
Connect with Dr. Esther Bettney Heidt (MLRC School Network Researcher) and Patricia Podorsek (Director of Teaching and Learning at The International School Nido de Aguilas) at AMISA LeadCon in Santiago, Chile this October 22-23, 2026! 🇨🇱
In their presentation, “Action Research and Small Inquiry Groups: Professional Learning that Supports Sustainable Change,” Esther and Patricia will share how empower-driven, teacher-led inquiry can move professional learning beyond one-off workshops and transform daily classroom practice.
This deep dive into action research is just a preview of the collaborative work happening through the MLRC and Nido de Aguilas partnership. We’re building on these exact themes of school-based research and multilingual education for the upcoming MLRC Research Symposium, hosted at Nido de Aguilas in February 2027!
