Have you listened to episode 86 of the Growing with Proficiency Podcast? @claudiamelliott and I spend some quality time chatting it up about using NOVELS in class- with a wide range of activities to help deepen the experience. Curious? Well, ya gotta check it out!

We #LoveOurLanguages! This quote from my book, Moving Beyond for Multilingual Learners, shares a little of my reason & my passion for this work. All students deserve to come to classrooms that value their identities and honor their families' languages. #MovingBeyondEdu

@EThorntonGHS @AfroFranco2 @MrFisherSays TODAY, HERE you will make connections, build community, learn about yourself, expand your horizons, and leave a changed person. Sure, 10 years from now I’d like you to be able to communicate in TL, but even if not, I want EVERYBODY to have been different because they were here.

@profeklein When suggesting books to students I always say, "this author is funny!" (All titles above are humorous. ) Students eat these books up! Fun reads! Papacito is probably my high school students favorite.

[Rich Madel @SrMadel]

@profeklein All of the above. And in multiple quantities! 😬

[profe Crawford @profecrawford]

@AfroFranco2 Not really.

@alenord Loved this book! Oh, 6:30! Clever name

Playing the same simple game regularly creates the opportunity for students to be able to eventually step into the role of leading the game! #csctfl23 @DonnaTatumJohns

VERY good advice from polyglot Steve Kaufman: "You will often feel that you are struggling, when in fact you are communicating quite successfully … Do not think that your grammar and pronunciation are being judged ... your listeners want to understand you." (pp. 128-9).

@SarahBreckley We are starting a heritage program too! Can't wait to hear recommendations!
