When I looked over the letter that Congressional Leaders sent challenging the dismantling of OELA, I realized my congressman had not signed it. What did I do? I called him up, got a real person on the phone, and filed a formal complaint. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

My brother in Christ, Taylor would chop that chair up and use it as fire wood before she even thought about hurting a tiny little hair on your body

The Preschool GLAD® Classroom Demonstration is such a powerful time to see the strategies in action with our youngest learners. "She was telling me allllll about that Tapir. She wouldn't stop talking about it." EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT to hear as educators! @ACPSECC @OCDEProjectGLAD

Chants help students use high-level academic language in context! Digging into science concepts and pairing investigations/hands-on activities with language work supports student output and ownership of the concepts. @OCDEProjectGLAD @BarrettElem

The power of "heads together" for student engagement, use of academic langauge, oral rehearsal, collaboration, and teamwork skills. Equity in action = everyone's voice is important. Thanks for hosting our @OCDEProjectGLAD 4 Day Classroom Demo @BarrettElem 2nd grade!

Before school started, I was thrilled to be a part of the Back to School Event @casachiri! It's always a fantastic morning in the community. I get to support the Chirilagua neighborhood and see some of my former students and families from @MVCSlearns. @ACPSDL @acpsFACE

This part right here! All students in school are language learners all the time.@OCDEProjectGLAD
Every student is a language learner! Some are developing a deeper complexity of one language, and others are doing the same thing in two named languages. But all students have a linguistic repertoire that continues to expand and evolve. Every student is a language learner. ♥️🙌🏽 #languagelearning #teaching #teaching_english #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids #bilingual_kids #sketching
