Nonverbal students here can point to the image on the board to tell other students or teachers what they wish to do during recess. ❤️ #inclusion #SEL https://t.co/VrKH6Qy2GY

I love these tips from @teachergoals and @ValentinaESL about culturally responsive teaching. Make it intentional! #equityforallstudents

This illustrated dictionary has been my favorite purchase during Quarantine! Thank you @Toppel_ELD for sharing! It has categories like action, character, emotion, setting, taste and smell, & weather. My favorite part is it gives adjectives to help describe nouns! You need this!

@SamanthaLCoy A6: I hope to provide my students with a balance of direct and collaborative instruction in all areas of ESOL instruction. Elearning made me realize, I want to do a better job reaching out to students who may need help with work after school hours. I want to support them then,too

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@LisaString1 Love it! For ELs, a model is a life preserver. Without a model, some may not have the slightest clue as to what you are asking them to do/produce. As a student, I loved having a model as a guide. They're helpful to all!

@SamanthaLCoy A5: I will engage my students in goal setting where they help create the rubric. I plan to meet with them individually to help them reflect on their writing. They will then use their rubric to self-grade and revise if necessary.#BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@BurzlerMandy @SamanthaLCoy You did revisit and vote on changes mid-year. I remember my students telling me about it and I thought it was fantastic!#BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@KelleyAlford15 I definitely agree, Kelley! It's easy to get caught up in the teaching and paperwork and forget to make those connections. It is evident that you build those from the get go!#BESPLC

@SamanthaLCoy A4: My goal every year is to create a warm and supportive classroom where my students affective filter is lowered and they're willing to put aside fears of sounding funny or writing something incorrectly. #BESPLC

@LanaMur43218603 Lana, I think giving students a choice within their lessons is such a great idea. I've had students refuse to do an assignment and then realized it was because they were embarrassed to draw. When you give choices it eliminates some of the anxiety students may feel.#BESPLC

@SamanthaLCoy A3: I will make sure that my classroom is student-centered where students feel that their voices are important and respected. In my class we focus a lot on speaking, but I also want to instill the importance of truly listening to others.#BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@SamanthaLCoy It is so true that students "live up to the words you say and write." You do such a great job of encouraging your students to be their best. Love that you plan to use detailed feedback in writing, as well!#BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@SamanthaLCoy A2: I will explain the "why" of my praise or redirection. I will also try to model and encourage the language so that students can do the same. #BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@Chenry521 Christina, I love the idea of allowing students to write you notes. It gives them ownership and anonymity. #BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@SamanthaLCoy I will start with student created rules posters for each class and referencing them as needed. Also, using consequences that befit the behavior. #BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

@Juliann27040819 I love your idea of having posters and illustrations. That would be helpful for all in primary grades and for our ELs at all grade levels. Also, it would be a quick visual reminder for us as we're teaching! #BESPLC

[Robin Hutchens @RobinHutchens7]

A5: My goal is to reinforce the SEL competencies in the ESOL classroom. I need to delve deeper into these myself so that I can model the behaviors and teach the language associated with these competencies. #BESPLC
