A guy went for a swim in the Cherwell
He was hoping to find a narwhal.
He swam up and down,
not one was found.
He got out saying, 'No luck. Ah well!'

English Learners Face Severe Inequities and
Substandard Conditions in NJ Schools https://t.co/1DPbMJRZx5

The presence of a credentialed school librarian results in better reading & writing.The number of school librarians fell 20% during last 10yrs (SLIDE study).
We are told that this was because of budget but this is not so.Number of school administrators increased during this time.

When we take away recess, unstructured play, & physical activity from children, we also take away creativity, innovation, and imagination. We also take away opportunities to develop social skills, self regulate emotions, and increase their on task focus.

@ejfranks @NJTESOL_NJBE @FLENJ @DrAllenMcMillan @MaryCurranRU Great project. Kean already offers credit for a sophomore field experience. Hopefully we can do more to reach the next generation of students in high schools. I believe in this.
