While the original graphic was designed several years ago, I finally finished updating this infographic: The ABCs of #Teaching #Multilingual Learners.

This certainly does not encompass everything but includes some of the essentials.

I am deeply grateful to the professors who motivated me to reach my fullest potential, and I am sincerely appreciative of the opportunities afforded to me to present at both national and local conferences on strategies for supporting our multilingual students @TWUMultilingual

Cooperation between school and family is a crucial component for student success. Removing barriers to facilitate parental involvement is absolutely necessary. #T3ParentMeeting @CoachHagueESOL @stephanier29559 @SergioSarabia07 @LizVarela9 @Garci4_Mel

As Specialists who serve Multilingual learners and content teachers too, we wear many hats. One is coaching our colleagues (sometimes formally and other times casually).

Effective ML Coaching includes:
1. being a role model of what our multilingual learners need academically but also socially and emotionally
2. listening carefully to our colleagues and their concerns as they navigate new ways of teaching
3. teaching our colleagues about multilingual learners, their needs, and rights through classroom demonstrations, mini-pds, daily interactions, and more.
4. and helping our colleagues to pull away from old ideas and learn new philosophies without feeling guilty.

Language develops 🌱when massive amounts of comprehensible or understandable input is given AND low stress opportunities for output are offered. 🌷

Every day. Every student. Every class.

Not just once a day during ELD time. 🤷🏻‍♀️

“A student’s L1 is an asset that should be valued and nurtured… Instructional practices in which teachers explicitly encourage students to make connections between their L1 and L2 benefit their language and literacy development.” https://t.co/N1ePt0oSHg #STR4Biliteracy

It’s true that ESOL/ESL is not an intervention. It’s an integral part on tier 1 support.

But it’s also true that English Learners who need additional support beyond tier 1 ESOL/ESL should receive it.
