I always say the best part of @GISD_PD days is seeing people you've connected with previously..usually ones still working in the district, of course. Today, I got to give a hug to one of my former ELL co-worker buddies, @icfleury , who now works for @BeGladTraining ! #gisdprek
So rewarding to see suggestions actually taking place in the classroom. Accountable talk in an ELLevation resource. Feels good to see the impact of a conversation in the classroom. Our amazing teachers are always striving…always doing what is best 4 all!❤️
Oh what an amazing day! I had the wonderful opportunity to model today. Helping students to organize content! Love the experience. The teacher in me is till there!
If English learners only feel comfortable talking in small group "pull out" time, we need to question why.
What conditions are raising the affective filter in mainstream classrooms? How can we ensure that students-ALL students- feel safe to speak in any classroom?

Let’s put some randomized and rotation tool in place while reviewing place value! My token of my appreciation for the wonderful teachers! The ones doing the work! #littledetails#makingthedifference#helping#passion
It is important that our Emergent Bilinguals know exactly what they will learn and how will they demonstrate their learning so that they can fully engage and lower their affective filter to feel safe to participate. #ShelteredGISD @GISD4ELLs
Learning objectives or learning targets! The foundation for a good lesson. Exciting to see this explicit way to set the lesson to success! Outstanding job! #learningobjectives#clueforsuccess
It is exciting to be able to be in such an amazing classroom! Please notice the visuals attached to the learning targets and vocabulary words. Also the sentence stems. Making content comprehensible is clue for all our students. #makingcontentcomprehensible
