Amazing speech from IB Conference in Cancun
In July I had the extremely awesome opportunity of attending the IB Americas conference in Cancun. I have so many links, connections and take-a-ways to revisit and post,....eventually. But the most inspiring, touching moment of the conference for me was a speech by a young woman who has accomplished much, while also overcoming much. IB posted the video yesterday! Reminds me that ESOL learners need to be supported, encouraged and held accountable...success takes hard work, but is within reach.
