Been about five years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.
@psirides I love this change in perception.
What if teachers changed their thought pattern in education. Instead of the student/parent can't speak English, it becomes the teacher can't speak Spanish, Arabic, Farsi, etc. and attempt to find a reasonable way to communicate in spite of this.

Thank you to everyone @wheeler_mps who donated 💰 to our @Scholastic By ok Fair All For Books 📚 campaign. We were able to donate over $100 in NEW books to a refugee family from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 ♥️
We differentiate instruction because not all multilingual learners are the same.
They each bring unique strengths, individual English levels, and distinct styles of learning to the table. 💪

EL students at Holling Heights are helping to ring in the the holidays by decorating a tree for Jingle 2021. It's great to see all the languages of our wonderful multi-lingual students displayed.
I saw Jim Gaffigan last night - he was hilarious. He made a great analogy: My kids were asked to do their school work on the same device they use to play Minecraft. That's like having a Weight Watchers meeting at Wendy's. Kinda true!
Differentiating instruction is more than a few strategies and resources — it is an approach to teaching. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have the right tools.
Thanks, @ColorinColorado, for putting this together to support differentiating instruction: https://t.co/bxPrwt5lnL
