At yesterday's SIOP Model training, teachers explored a variety of ideas for how students can practice vocabulary. Here are posters they made representing some of the ideas! @APS_ESOL @CAL_LangLit

@ChrisChangBacon Welcome to Everly and Haven! I hope they grow well in the NICU. Even though they arrived earlier than expected, they have some great people looking out for them.

[Amy Sherman, Ed.D. @ShermanAPS]

In today's SIOP Model training, a group of teachers created two examples of how to use graphic organizers to adapt texts for ELs! @CAL_LangLit @APS_ESOL

A useful anchor chart spotted in a classroom today! It clarifies for students the language we use when we compare and contrast. @esol

@ChrisChangBacon Hopefully you'll be able to do a little bit more with a little less pain every day. My recovery is also taking longer than expected, and it's hard to stop being impatient with a timeline you can't control.

Who knew there is so much language in math?! I’m prepping for another 3 Read Protocol lesson in ⁦@CoryFish215⁩’s class ⁦@Warren_Elem⁩.

Talk in math class? 🗣

It's not distraction – it's a sign of critical thinking and #StudentSuccess!

Just ask T @teacherperoff, whose student T created this chart of superb sentence stems:

#EAL learners need explicit teaching of vocabulary in curriculum / content areas. This post shares a range of activities to use in the classroom https://t.co/gpSu3wYRVI

Your ACCESS data is school data- it’s a reflection of how the entire school supports language development. It is NOT merely a reflection of students’ time with their EL Teacher. Language instruction is happening everywhere, with everyone, all day long.

Thank you to my Office of English Learners team for your support and for celebrating my capstone defense with me! @SamKlein_ESOL @kcostarAPS
