The Sentence Writing Strategy developed by @KUCRL is an outstanding solution for helping intermediate #MLLs build writing skills and develop agency as learners. Thanks to @Larryferlazzo for publishing my Q&A about this important tool for the #writingrevolution @FCPS_ESOL

It is so easy to make text accessible to support English learners via @GoogleForEdu Docs. Just a few clicks with Doc’s AI Translate tool provides the whole document in the students’ home language to promote their understanding of the English version. @accessible_fcps @FCPS_ESOL
A presentation slide introducing He Showed Us the Way by Cesar Chavez, April 1978, Maryknoll magazine. There are six separate links to access the article in English, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, and Russian. There is also a note to annotate the paper along with the teacher.

The school year is winding down, but rather than feeling tired, I’m filled with excitement because of this @CoSN CETL Foundations course. These topics are sparking ideas and conversations with colleagues that keep my enthusiasm about ed tech leadership riding high. 😀💯

Shoutout to Stepping Stones Book Classics from @randomhousekids Finishing up the year with Frankenstein-It's gruesome and plot twist-y and absolutely perfect for @WIDA_UW Level 2 learners. Just enough complex vocabulary to challenge them into productive struggle. 🏆 @FCPS_ESOL

Beginner ELs activating prior knowledge before reading @SDLBACK "The Open Book" by using Iron Chef. Saddleback's hi-lo books for teens are a go-to resource for 100% engagement. @FCPS_ESOL @eduprotocols

Wrapping up a year where my newcomer class more than doubled in size. Daily, rapid pronunciation drills to begin the class proved to be very helpful as new students rolled in. Here's a starter pack 👇 docs.google.com/presentation… @le4els_fcps @FCPS_ESOL #MLLs

Felt inspired by the lit circles ideas from @jcorippo, so I updated my @eduprotocols materials for @PatriciaHPowell's Loving vs Virginia (with some inspiration by @fungooli on @teacher2teacher). My English learners love diving into this book, and this will help it shine. 🌟

It was a privilege to travel and learn with Eleanor as part of her Teachers for Global Classrooms Senegal cohort. That whole crew was filled with inspirational educators. The best professional development of my entire career.

Today was Friday and I was over it. Newcomer student yells across the room “Thank you, Miss, I love you!” I immediately yell back “I love you too!” And that was the energy that got me through.
