So many choices to share diverse perspectives and stories that reflect the lived experiences of all students and their families.

When speaking in English with a multilingual student (or anyone) focus on meaning. Don't turn every interaction into a grammar lesson.

It is important to understand that the phonological features of student���s native languages can impact the ability to learn English. Some English phonemes are not found in other languages. Therefore, these phonemes can be difficult to pronounce and auditorily
identify.

No matter where you are from, I'm glad you're my student. The poster offers a space for additional languages to be added by students via a simple sticky note.

A good October reminder: my culture should not be your costume.

I first learned about Annotating Learning Objectives in a @MsSalvac training. It is a strategy from @draLBescalante's book #MotivatingELLs that has greatly impacted my teaching practice!

It's no-prep, practical, and something you can use in your classroom TODAY! #MLLs #JCPSESL

Just ordered my copy of Germy Science by Edward Kay. Awesome to see non-fiction and currently relevant books by Canadian authors!

PWIM (Picture Word Induction Model) is a great strategy for teaching vocabulary and language structure. Students love labelling pictures in shared writing to help with oral and written output. For a digital version, I insert a pic in PicCollage or Slides. #wrdsbMLL #wrdsbOnline

[Stephanie Ledger @stephledger]

Here's a framework that I created, while taking @TanKHuynh's amazing "Teacher Collaboration" course, to assist teachers with using the collaborative model to support MLLs. My hope is that it allows for different points of entry. #AssetBasedEd #EmpoweringMLLs
