What’s the hardest part of learning English? Some G6 #ELLs shared it’s often having the courage to try! Learning English with VL during a pandemic is not easy! I’m proud of them for their courage to keep trying in the midst of so much difficulty! @ASBIndia

.@Indy2India and I are so proud of our 11 MS delegates, all of whom are virtually participating in their first #MUN Conference this weekend at #ASBMUN. They are representing China, Canada, Iraq, Israel, Norway, and Yemen. But, most of all, they're representing @ASBIndia!

Self talk strategies to reduce stress. Help learners cope with difficult moments by using this simple technique supported by research.

I’m so excited to be contributing in this new role next year!

During a brain break in my EAL class I asked the students to find something that helps keep them safe and show it to the camera. One student ran and got his mom. So sweet! #middleschool #virtuallearning #asbindia

Question, Signal, Stem, Share, Assess!

Have you tried QSSSA with your Ss? It's a strategy that educator @ValentinaESL calls "easy to implement" – and more supportive for Ss than the "turn and talk" approach. Find out how it works: https://t.co/SK5ltEdS96 #StudentVoice #ELLchat

When your student knows you like Star Trek and creates a Star Trek Avatar for you. Middle Schoolers are always such fun to work with! #asbindia #middleschool

@msneidmusic What a great visual to help us do some self-reflection.

[Deanna Barron @Indy2India]

I hate finding my own spelling mistakes in class (or on Twitter!) But what another great learning opportunity for #ELLs. Even native speakers (and teachers!) can make English mistakes. I don’t pretend to be perfect and I don’t expect my students to be either!

[Deanna Barron @Indy2India]

This is important for all students, but especially our ELLs! Sometime I count silently to myself after asking a question to make sure I’m giving students space and time to answer! #ELLs

@MrBarronLearns Love to see students being creative AND getting to use their home language!

[Brandon Barron @MrBarronLearns]

This week I observed two debates: the US Presidential Debate and a formal debate among my 8th graders. In one of those debates, participants were thoughtful and dignified, but I would expect nothing less from my awesome social studies students! 😜

Back in Bombay! And slowly getting my virtual teaching space back up and running! #virtuallearning @ASBIndia

[Deanna Barron @Indy2India]

This week I’ve realized how many 90’s pop culture references I make! Which basically means all my students now know the Jeopardy theme song and what it was like to own the original game boy!

[Brandon Barron @MrBarronLearns]

Mr. and Mrs. Barron are SO excited about #MUN this year... Can you tell?

How do you get *all* students—even the quietest—to participate in online learning? Here's what we gleaned from dozens of teachers. https://t.co/TW0INFo9Fs

[Ms. Neid @msneidmusic]

Our 1st asynchronous Friday of the school year called for some games. @jackboxgames are a great way to have some fun with one another, virtually. Students had a great sense of humor while playing - smiles and giggles from everyone! @Indy2India #asbms #asbindia #virtuallearning
