Multilingual learners flourish when Instruction is infused with language. That means that every teacher and every content area, deliberately plans instruction that incorporates, listening, speaking reading and writing.

Thirty years ago, on this day, legendary visionary and labor organizer Cesar Chavez passed away at the age of 66. To this day, Chavez is stirring knowledge, pride, and fearlessness in our multiracial struggle for a just world.

Did you know you can check out a GARDEN at the library? 🌱 There’s so much more to the story at the library these days! Visit your local branch and see for yourself! 🤗 Be sure to tell a librarian you appreciate them! ❤️📚#NationalLibraryWeek #MoreToTheStory #GardeningForTheWin

For so long, I thought my duty as an educator was to “save” students and families. I am working hard to move way from this savior ideology. Instead, I have embraced desmadre in the name of equidad and social justice. ✊🏽

Hey @Scholastic we need to talk…

I need you to be brave.

While the original graphic was designed several years ago, I finally finished updating this infographic: The ABCs of #Teaching #Multilingual Learners.

This certainly does not encompass everything but includes some of the essentials.

Our 4th graders enjoyed creating their own books about homophones & are super pumped about using them to teach their younger siblings & friends! @ClarkCreekSTEM @CLaneLiteracy @crabb_andrea

The first thing we can do to create a welcoming environment for students is to pronounce their names correctly and not asking them to change their names because it is difficult for us to pronounce.

It’s amazing how so many people want to see public schools improved but don’t value the voices of teachers and students in reimagining education. And sadly, schools are still struggling b/c everyone isn’t at the table. #ProfessorJBA #teacher #PGeducator #equity #school ✏️🍎📚

@MrsPriepke @FlipgridEvents @ClarkCreekSTEM That's so awesome!
