It’s the most wonderful time of the year! 🌟 #Advocate4MLs

[Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ @emilyfranESL]

We learned how to use #Storytelling as a way to identify Ss’ culture, identity, and strengths. (Some tears were shed but it’s a good thing)

Tchers made profiles using the stories found in my book #IfuOnlyKnewBook & made monologues with their students’ stories. @Seidlitz_Ed

This professional development wouldn’t be complete without action steps. This work may take time to be 100% implemented, but these action steps are a plan to get us where we need to get for our MLs. @LexingtonOne @SC_MLE @CarolinaTesol #IfUonlyKnewBook

[Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ @emilyfranESL]

LOVED spending time with @LexingtonOne ML teachers today 🤩
Each tcher received a copy of my book #IfUonlyKnewBook & we did some heavy work around storytelling, student profiles, monologues, & action steps to better serve our MLS @Seidlitz_Ed @SC_MLE @CarolinaTesol

@emilyfranESL @Seidlitz_Ed It was an amazing day! Thank you for the lesson in storytelling and how powerful that can be for our MLs’ sense of belonging!

.@SLNazario’s keynote presentation is so powerful — I’m a mess listening to some of her stories— but they must be told #StoriesMatter 🛤🚞
