@KJWinEducation 💯 agree but what if the curriculum options for a DL school aren’t as effective as a monolingual program. The kids deserve better and so do teachers. When is curriculum going to be aligned for DL?
@BookwormsRW
My district is excited about Bookworms reading and writing! We also have a dual language elementary school, is there talk happening to create a Spanish version of Bookworms?? There is a huge need for it!
I am often asked how we can create linguistically-inclusive educational spaces where English is the only language of instruction. Read the blog from @EllevationEd where we outline specific steps to do so! #C6BiliteracyFramework
“When considering equity in our dual language programs, the one question to keep in mind is, who is the program for?” Thank you @DualLangSchools for letting me share some thoughts. @JoseMedinaJr89 thanks for your inspiration #equitywarriors https://t.co/os59xtCIge
My advice on conferring.
Just start doing it. Don’t stress about choosing the perfect teaching point or having the most beautiful toolkit.
The more you do it, the better you become.
Worst case scenario: You get to chat with one of readers, just you & them.
"U.S.-born children from Spanish-speaking families finds that minority language exposure does not threaten the acquisition of English by children in the U.S. Rather, children reliably acquire English by age 5, and their total language knowledge is greater"

This year has taken a toll on educators. They deserve our support so they can be their best selves & support students in being theirs. Here's an article @drchriscip & @nikki_elbertson I wrote that describes what we've built to support them. @YaleEmotion

The debate on school opening/closure centers parents, but remember that there are thousands of teachers & school staff (who are also parents, btw) who are making whatever crazy model of school actually happen.
Ask them what they think, & trust that they care about our kids.
Van, thank you for expressing the sorrow and relief that we all feel. My hope is that those who hoped for a different outcome will take a moment to empathize with the pain so many of us have felt over the past four years.
In 2016 & ‘17, I paid thousands of dollars a year in taxes *as a bartender.*
Trump paid $750.
He contributed less to funding our communities than waitresses & undocumented immigrants.
Donald Trump has never cared for our country more than he cares for himself. A walking scam.
