Here’s most of our amazing @Southridge BIL/ESL paraprofessional team (3 out of 4 of them are in this picture). @Mrs_Retana and I are so lucky to have such dedicated and awesome paras supporting our EB students every day!
Great QSSSA training with our Kinder, 1st, and 2nd grade teachers!
Together, we explored how QSSSA boosts engagement and language development, and I’m proud of our @SouthridgeES teachers for being open to the training and the learning.

Loved catching up with my @VickeryES LAS teammate, Mr. Marines, and meeting a new friend, Dr. Cox @TECCeast, at our first LISD Brand Ambassador meeting last night! We walked away with tons of great info and enjoyed discovering what we have in common.

Loved learning more about supporting emergent bilinguals in today’s training with @ValentinaESL.
Feeling inspired and excited to bring these ideas back to campus. @SouthridgeES@PetersColonyES
These awesome teachers from @SouthridgeES were caught using one or more of the Big Rocks in their teaching practices. Way to go Mr. Chavez, Mrs. Johnston, and Ms. Barton-Macias @LisdBILESL
@LewisvilleISD hosted an amazing Hispanic Heritage event this past Thursday. The celebration of culture, food, and community was wonderful. It was an honor to be a part of this special night.

EXPECTATION VS REALITY WITH ELLs
The path our students take to exit the ELL program is rarely smooth and straight. Don't beat yourself up on the bad days and don't become over-confident on the good ones ❤️

Some teachers are expressing panic bc they have a new group of students & feel overwhelmed and ill-prepared to serve them.
Confidence plays a crucial role for both adults and children; believing in our ability to succeed is essential.
During a recent conference, I discussed four strategies to enhance the success of newly arrived multilingual learners in content classrooms.

Every teacher should be equipped & confident in teaching English Learners or Multilingual Learners because every teacher teaches English Learners or #Multilingual Learners.
