This would apply for our MLLs in middle school as well! Intense literacy development needs to continue in middle school, in subjects as well as language acquisition / EAL classes https://t.co/4rou8rCVIL

I've studied over 200 kids—the ones with high emotional intelligence have parents who do 7 things early on https://t.co/SuodPBVq1l

@ISPPCambodia Those kids are all #ISPPsupertroopers

Planning for emergent multilingual learners does not take alot of difficult manoeuvres. Sometimes a simple script / skeleton with sentence frames can allow an English beginner to show content knowledge, such as this outline for a video about geography. @ELLSAChat #ELLSAexpertise

The first unit, we worked on learning these sentence combining structures.

At the end of the unit, students are now using them to write a summary paragraph to scaffold their ability to summarize.

Will let you know how it goes.

[Jon Banules @JBanules]

@ELLSAChat A great way to start your thinking about teaching writing to MLs is to listen to @TanKHuynh interview Wexler and Hockman about "The Writing Revolution" https://t.co/yYbNBlgMGr

[Jon Banules @JBanules]

@megan_vosk @AMLE I have just started using Chat GPT 4. Pretty powerful. Have been asking it to teach me something, test me, and give me a report on my learning. Wondering how to make this a process for students...

[Jon Banules @JBanules]

@szyberger @ISPPCambodia @DestaTheBesta @KarynKarynsi @fordlizj Such a brilliant way to teach the children, and the community, about this mother of so many musical forms...thank you Desta, Karyn, and ISPP elementary teachers!
