The 2024 VESA conference is moving! We can't wait to see you in Williamsburg!

I was honored to receive the Distinguished Service and Excellence in Teaching awards at the @VirginiaESLSA #VESA2023 conference. I received these for the small divisions, who work tirelessly with an office of one, to provide quality instruction for #MLLs Our MLs matter, too!

@KatieToppel I have this struggle with so many products. I am THE ESL teacher for the division. I don't need 20 licenses for the same grade level, I need to be able to use resources across all grade levels.

Learning from @RuslanaWesterl on Thursday afternoons is a highlight of my week. #equity4MLs #ell

[Courtney Proffitt @crproffitt]

@ELteachMN @RuslanaWesterl I agree, Jenny. This book study has been extremely beneficial for me and I am so glad I decided to join! @RuslanaWesterl is a wealth of knowledge and I am honored to learn under her.

Reading aloud to students is NOT just for elementary grades or for reading & writing classrooms. It’s for all grade levels, all students, all classrooms.

A read-aloud can be as short as 3-5 minutes. It can be a poem, excerpt, brochure, chapter, an article, etc. #WorldBookDay

If you don't have a copy of Teaching Language in Context, i highly recommend it. A functional approach to language is an equitable approach to language.

[Kerrilyn Thacker @KerrilynT]

Such a rich learning experience last night at the "Teaching Language in Context" (Derewianka and Jones, 2012) Book Club session #2 with
@RuslanaWesterl. Scaffolding activities along the register continuum provides students more resources/tools for meaning-making.

@MoralesSenorita I am so thankful he has you and the way the school has rallied around him!

[Courtney Proffitt @crproffitt]

@RuslanaWesterl I'm taking this as a personal invitation. I have been wanting to join this book study, but hadn't quite made up my mind. I will be registering soon!
