Equity Guide Pandemic Schooling.pdf - Google Drive I came across this document today. I like the 10 steps it provides with concrete suggestions for action. https://t.co/rFIbsU751C

I might be on leave from work but never too busy to learn something new with OELA. Love these webinars.

@Kimberl96933984 @MasonAmyJ @GovWhitmer We aren’t “having a bad day”, we are here, in Michigan, watching are friends and family get sick daily. It must be nice to hate on our gov from afar. Try coming here and putting yourself at risk before spewing hate against someone that is using her best judgement to keep us safe.

[Kelly Alvarez @Alvarez11Kelly]

@GovWhitmer What about hair and nail salons? Are they included in “retail stores” or will they remain closed?

Did you know that Lansing has a Spanish news update each Friday!?!? Check it out https://t.co/Zf3PC1Q7Y7

[Chris Bryant @MrBteaches365]

Michigan citizens, please urge your local representatives to support SB 373 when they return to Lansing on Wednesday. The bill will allow for the 180 instructional days to be waived, and for schools to be FULLY funded for the rest of the school year.

Just learned some great ideas for supporting the literacy development of our ELs, even virtually during this time when schools are closed. #VirtuEL @TanELLclassroom

@willowgreen1 @GovWhitmer What do you propose she do about the MDE?

[Kelly Alvarez @Alvarez11Kelly]

@GovWhitmer is out there doing the good work. Intelligent, thoughtful and hardworking. Not getting caught up in the hype. #shesmygovernor

[Kelly Alvarez @Alvarez11Kelly]

@ClaggLaura @GovWhitmer And don’t forget to include them (self employed salon workers) in the unemployment aid.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Today, @MIEducation sent a letter to Betsy Devos urging her to grant a nationwide waiver of statewide student assessments. When kids get back to school, the number one priority must be ensuring they have the resources they need, not on state assessments.

@EstavilloGloria @Larryferlazzo Thank you for the resource!! Very helpful.

[Kelly Alvarez @Alvarez11Kelly]

PLN- I’m looking for good articles on secondary models for ELs. Not necessarily newcomer specific, just general considerations for secondary. Any ideas?

[Kelly Alvarez @Alvarez11Kelly]

Very interesting. https://t.co/eAplxp420u
