I know we talk about translanguaging as a way for students to learn content.

That's NOT enough.

Translanguaging is about strengthening students' connections to their culture through language.

@ELLLisbeth @SDLBACK @AndreaHonigsfel @claribel716 These are indeed great questions to guide our teaching every single lesson!

[Yvonne Vroklage @YVroklage]

@SarahAlMay @KerynDowling @JAdamsLux @mathsmakesense Absolutely, small group instruction is very effective, we have to group the students purposefully and change groupings depending on setting and context to avoid the feeling of being grouped by ability. Language learners benefit from a variety of language models within a group.

How do we view inclusion and diversity? As an educational liability or as an asset? Something to reflect on!#WIDA #NFI @nordmeyerj @ksolomon81 @SarahLHarger

[Yvonne Vroklage @YVroklage]

We need to take time for reflection to improve our teaching. We all know it, but do we do it enough? #WIDA #NFI @nordmeyerj @ksolomon81 @SarahLHarger

[Jon Nordmeyer 🌎 @NordmeyerJ]
