@mrswebb1221 @HelenLThorpe Love the book. Hearing @HelenLThorpe keynote at our TexTESOL conference in November inspired me to stop io@my advocacy for our refugees. #Textesol18
A5: Continued voice on Twitter as we build a virtual #PLN for our membership. @DrMPattonESOL has taken @TexTESOL5’s social media to new heights thanks to #textesol18. Let’s keep it going!
A4: Trust the process. Everything will come together in the end. Yes, a few logistical curve balls will come your way. But we work w/ wonderful professionals who can flex with last-minute issues, and their graciousness will overcome any unexpected bumps in the road. #textesol18
A3: I attended a poster session on corrective feedback by Hilal Ergul from TAMUC. Conclusion? Uptake is higher when Ts offer correction with a genuine smile. My #futureteachers study different types of corrective feedback but I haven’t yet shared this info with them. #textesol18
A1. When Helen Thorpe, who did not spend years in education classes, made the same conclusion that we have made - it is RELATIONSHIPS that drive effective instruction. #textesol18
#TexTESOL18 I really enjoyed learning about the brain with @DrJerryRBurkett
A2: The Monday after #textesol18, I had @HelenLThorpe’s book The Newcomers on the screen playing an audio excerpt of her 1st day in an ESL class. My #futureteachers are interviewing ELLs & making connections to SLA theory, and this book provides a masterful mentor text for them.
A1: there were so many! this was a “duh” why am I not doing this? moment with @dr_aquagirl #TexTESOL18
A1: My biggest wow was the realization that I was part of an academic legacy — mentors who have poured into me, colleagues I work alongside, grad students who are now teaching others, undergrad students who are the future of our profession. All in one place at #textesol18.

So proud to work with Donna Layton from @JBConnallyHS @pfisd and super excited to see her win TexTesoler of the year award at #textesol18 @TexTESOL She is an amazing human being that does so much for #EL students every day.
The @ETIatUNTD was strongly represented at #textesol18, with presentations by Dr. Patsy Sosa-Sanchez and Dr. Jerry Burkett.
Provide more literacy experiences in the classroom across all grade levels. Ex. Use picture books in the high school classroom @pysanchez1 #TEXTESOL18
Congratulations to our grand prize winner, Paul! And a special thank you to @SDLBACK for donating this amazing #Newcomers Box Set! #textesol18
Confernce runners, what do you think? Can we run greener conferences? 🌳
I just saw great learning at #WGEDD and #textesol18 WITHOUT flimsy bags or programs. #sched @TexTESOL5 @TexTESOLIV https://t.co/1nElggFHdq
