Research points to dual language immersion programs—where instruction is given in two languages with roughly equal shares of native speakers for both—as an ideal model for the nation’s growing English learner population. https://t.co/RdqwImMSj1

Just in case anyone else gets sentence frames and sentence stems confused. I used to use the terms interchangeably, but I found it really helpful to think about the different purposes they serve.

I LOVE this.
I wonder what an adult version could do for us?! 🤔♥️

We love this article from WLS friend and longtime collaborator Jennifer D. Klein, which reminds us educators of our “why” as we enter the new year.

Education is a human right.

Yet, young women & girls continue to face discrimination & marginalization in many countries, including unequal access to school.

Forever grateful for the #fulbright and #irex team for the opportunity to travel to DC this week for the Fulbright Teacher Exchange orientation. Connecting with the most kind, intelligent, and passionate educators brought me so much joy and so many ideas for my classroom.

A full circle moment:

My former student, Fallon Abel, just got back from her Fulbright in Finland and we presented together at this year’s orientation.

Dream your dreams, everyone.
