@MsSalvac Thanks! I got some great resources to check out to help educate admin and staff!

I need help from my PLN, please! I am looking for in-house ideas about how to improve cultural sensitivity among the staff. They don’t want a boring speaker, but activities or discussion or workshop ideas, please! #ELLChat @teacher2teacher @MsSalvac

Love teaching my ELs! The advocating part is exhausting, selfless, hard work! I must not give up! #ESLstrong, #ELLChat @meri_beth

Why is it okay to have students redo courses they fail, but not okay to have them redo assignments and assessments that they fail?

Even though sent stem & frames seem so basic, they are not implemented enough in classrooms to scaffold & support English learners with academic language. I wonder why? Basic is not necessarily bad especially when it’s effective!

Just led a class of high school senior medical assistant Ss to practice NOCTI skills via Flipgrid! 6 of the 8 are former ELs. Awesome experience! #ELLchat #teched

Quizlet live with my ELs to review for their nonfiction text feature test. #ELLChat #teacher2teacher

[Kristi McConnell @eslmcconnell]

@ValentinaESL We are struggling with seniors in HS who cannot succeed in co-op jobs because their English speaking proficiency has not been developed. They are former ELs. I struggle with this when we are preparing Ss to be career and college ready!

A2: I feel more confident in the science classroom being able to contribute more each year that we teach together. #coteachat

[Kristi McConnell @eslmcconnell]

Wish you could translate 1 word into all of your district's top languages with a click? Look no further than @google Sheets! Inspired by @JakeMillerTech, @irina_mcgrath and I created a tool for #JCPSESL teachers. Click for a copy.

I said it YESTERDAY--I have no clue how I taught ELs before twitter. It has radically changed my teacher life. If nothing else, I love having contact with so many people who do what I do and who struggle with the same things I struggle with. Love my twitter PLN.
