Love is in the air and content & language objectives are on the board!

Yes!! MLs need these objectives but they also need to interact with them before the lesson begins. They act as a navigation system that provides guidance as they journey through the lesson.

Developing a complete picture of multilingual learners is more than knowing their English language proficiency.

Deeper development uncovers who multilingual learners are as humans and how their other languages and experiences interact with new language acquisition.

Each multilingual learner is uniquely made.

I used @GreatMindsEd Wit&Wisdom to create writing tasks that mirror WIDA writing prompts. Modeling language for Ss to copy and use their phonemic awareness.

Also providing scaffolds like pictures with the text. These pictures come from the text Ss have read for the unit.

[Jen McCann Thomas @jmac8229]

I love that the tradition continues!

Great professional learning session on creating spaces for ALL learners. And, what a better way to end the session than with new books for each classroom! @PTE_ACSC @jmac8229 @Jgatlin74
