I’m disappointed to see that the issue of supports being stripped away from vulnerable students with complex needs was not mentioned at all in this article. Our kids deserve a government that properly funds proactive supports for students. https://t.co/PANhwEYNK9

Let’s create a world where refugees are always welcome. #WithRefugees

@ValentinaESL @MindShiftKQED Educators can empower MLLs by explicitly showing them how to recognize and leverage their funds of knowledge.

Our students had an absolutely amazing day at MLL Camp today! Low ropes, archery, active games, pond study, rock climbing, and more! Grateful to all of the amazing educators and camp staff who made today so special for our newcomer students. #WRDSBMLL

Multilingualism is a superpower.

Home languages need to be welcomed and celebrated in all classrooms.

Magic happens when children are invited to use their full linguistic repertoire to both receive and express ideas and information.

@stephledger We need to ensure that qualified and highly trained MLL educators continue to be available in all school boards to conduct initial assessments and make those incredibly important first contacts with newcomer families, to set everyone up for success!!

I couldn't agree more! Initial assessment is the foundation of equity in education. #Assessment4Learning #Equity4MLLs #Equity4SLIFE

@TanKHuynh @CorwinPress Love this, Tan! I wonder if MLLs rearrange sentences to match the syntax of their L1 (if it also works grammatically in English).

[Stephanie Ledger @stephledger]

@ESL_fairy I share your enthusiasm!🤗Conducting initial assessments in an equitable, accessible, responsive & informed manner is an important skill.When done properly, it reveals MLLs' funds of knowledge and uses these assets to bridge to new learning. #StudentCenteredAssessment #MLL #SLIFE
