Now more than ever advocacy for multilingual learners matters. You can advocate from any place any position. Any day. Every day. ♥️🌏🙌🏽

@ValentinaESL I never thought of using them as linguistic accommodations. I’ve only seen them used for hearing impaired students. Thanks for bringing this up.

EVEN in ESL programs we CAN honor, affirm, & value students’ language & literacy. It may look & sound a bit different from bilingual programs, but we can do it! Kids should not have to shed their primary language when they walk into the classroom. It’s an asset! 🌍🙌🏽💥

Multilingual Learners may meet reading & writing with socio-cultural backgrounds that come with different schema & cultural norms. Their languages may or may not have strong connections with English. MLs will meet reading & writing at different levels of language proficiency both in their first language & in English. The focus on language, oracy, and comprehension is vital.

Our teachers deserve a raise. I join @POTUS in calling on Congress to get it done.

We have to do better for our #newcomer Ss & #unaccompaniedminors #emergentbilinguals #newcomers @Seidlitz_Ed, starting w the way we welcome them to schools. https://t.co/LBmax9qiKP

Since we know that first #language supports second language acquisition why would anyone ignore a student’s L1? It makes sense to encourage, invite, use, affirm, & leverage L1 as students acquire L2.

Advice from my language therapist, Steve Kaufman: "Focus on the meaning you are trying to communicate, not on how well you are doing. Do not think that your grammar and pronunciation are being judged ... your listeners want to understand you."

Children’s learning loss in the pandemic isn’t just in reading and math. It’s also in social and emotional skills. In a New York Times survey of 362 school counselors across the U.S., they said students are behind in abilities to learn, cope and relate. https://t.co/CkyUNZ8q0e
