While most of the school community is out, summer school teachers work throughout the summer to help students do their very best academically.

Thank you for your hard work & dedication to summer learning - we appreciate you & so do your students!

Abbott expanded on comments he made about how he wants to “resurrect” the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court case Plyler v. Doe, which guaranteed that public schools would educate all students regardless of citizenship status. https://t.co/T93jCqtl2A

The Powerful Gift of #Bilingualism/#Multilingualism

Is it a word wall or is it wall paper? Depends on IF students can & do use it! How accessible is your word wall?

@SIOPModel's Dr. Vogt suggests video recording and listening back to a lesson with no sound. How well would I understand the lesson without English? This might help us reshape our lessons for more inclusive design and delivery.

We have been giving OSY opportunities to learn language through real life experiences that they have expressed concern over. Giving them these experiences will help lower their affective filter and raise their confidence!
