"We need effective literacy approaches for MLs that are based upon research about them, embraces the dual language brain as a reality and as an asset in literacy development." - Dr. Kathy Escamilla 💥PREACH!!!!!!!!!! #CoTESOLFallConvention

If we include them, they can do so much!

"How to Build a Culturally Responsive Community of Writers" with @GholdyM is NEW @educationweek post edweek.org/teaching-learning…

Don’t let anyone fool you into believing there isn’t space for you, that you don’t belong, or that you need to fit into a mold. Embrace your differences and let them shine like the gems they are. 💎

You can't define Tier II or III when Tier I isn't clearly defined & implemented first. If you find more & more kids needing Tier II & III supports, take a long hard look at Tier I. That's the hard, simple truth of it.

Rethinking educational marginalization at last week’s Yidan Prize Summit

I used to try to convince teachers to use ML-friendly strategies. Now I co-scaffold documents w/ colleagues. THIS HAS CHANGED MY PRACTICE.

5th graders had their first garden lesson with @mcsfarmtoschool Farmer Cari today! They learned about seasonal changes and plant genetics! They also got to do a taste test! #STEAMinthegarden #handsonlearning

Yes! 👇🏼and how often do we pronounce our own names incorrectly to make others feel comfortable? Learn the names. Honor the names. 🫶🏽

ELL is a tier one support. Not an intervention. Empower our students. Encourage multilanguage use in the schools. Thank you @ValentinaESL #ELevateSTL22

🧐😮🤯 #readingacademy study “Sts of color, those from low income families, English language learners, & sts w/mild to moderate disabilities have even less access to those grade appropriate resources than their peers.”

Translanguaging at It’s best! ¡Muy bien, Enrrique! 😀 #MovingStory #Spanglish #LanguageMatters

Parents politely requesting for the press conference to be in Spanish. Officers walk away. This is why we must challenge English-only policies when teaching a multilingual community.

If we aren’t careful we may be allowing our systems to label brilliant children as “at risk” simply because our systems fail to support them. How does your campus/district support & value multilingual students AND ALL of their teachers? #multilingual #emergentBilingual #ESL

Not believing in our standardized test structure doesn’t = not believing in assessment. Performance assessment can be scaled up. Reading assessment is about way more than passage reading and answering ?s. And student agency should be the ultimate goal not college acceptance.
