A privilege to end the 3 day SIOP inservice for @WestVanSchools and @VSB39 teachers with ELL Coordinator Extraordinaires (Ann and @MariaY09186775)! Lots of ‘chewy’ learning with powerful reflection and collaborative practices. Look forward to continuing the work!#westvaned

It breaks my heart to see ELs on computer based programs "learning" English in isolation while classmates engage in rich conversations and relevant curriculum.

I love Hieu’s book, The Little Girl! I highly recommend this book that shows Courage through the lens of a newcomer! @hieu_fraser @ms_cassady @Jcstephenson729 @hvisona

Every person faces many challenges on a daily basis and a healthy dose of courage makes every obstacle easier to overcome. What are your favorite books about courage? We would love to hear which books inspire you!
