PSA: #Culturally inclusive or diverse books are not just for the “ESL” group.

ALL #learners benefit from hearing stories & reading books abt people who are different from them.

Empathy is grown from stepping in the shoes of others and walking in them.

Books build #empathy.

@kidworldcitizen Brainpop has a 9/11 lesson and they usually do a pretty good job (although I have not previewed this one)
Full disclosure though, I’m middle school and not sure if it’d feel “young” to HS students

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility

I see you. I recognise your resilience, the prejudices you face and the need to challenge them. #TDOV

@froehlichm BQ: YES! to so many of the replies I've seen already!
I think feeling well-prepared and knowing that you are doing your best within your sphere of influence has got to play a part in the affirmations you allow yourself (then let it go!)

@froehlichm A3: I'm in Illinois and recent sunshine and warmer temps make ALL the difference. An early morning run or walk is a big help. Also, talking with an understanding friend or trusted colleague. #teachpos

@froehlichm A2 (getting the hang of this): Triggers: being out of my comfort zone, not being in control, feeling like I'm letting people down #teachpos

[Ellen Pierce @ellenpiercetms]

@froehlichm Short term, I notice my irregular breathing and frequent sighing (letting it out!)
Long term, I notice some weight gain :(

THIS is amazing! So much better than a poster!

An unexpected benefit of virtual learning for ELs- they are more comfortable with speaking into a microphone for the WIDA speaking test. 💪🏽

[Ellen Pierce @ellenpiercetms]

A great way to build some quick reminders into a daily warm-up for ELs

Every episode of ⁦@TanELLclassroom⁩’s podcast is amazing, but this one featured JIM CUMMINS! I learned so much ... like the backstory of BICS & CALP, and SO MUCH more. I might listen again. Thank you, ⁦Tan! #JCPSESL #ELLCHAT https://t.co/AhxeTHQUSW
