Billions of dollars in federal funding to support education is being held hostage. This money was expected by states and schools to provide education for all learners including services for English learners. The call to action: contact your state representatives and congress. Let them know where you stand on this matter and impact these funds have. #education #funding #teaching #teachingenglish

The final stretch before summer! 📚 Best of luck to our student-athletes on their final exams!

It’s possible that one of my favorite sections of our new book Welcome to Teaching Multilingual Learners is protecting their rights. ⚖️ This section is likely more relevant today than it was when we wrote it. #multilingual #multilingualism #bilingual_kids #bilingüe #teaching #teachingenglish #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids #éducation #educacion #teachersfollowingteachers #language #sketchnotes #sketchnote

Honoring the legacy of Jackie Robinson. #JackieRobinsonDay

Earth Day is coming. Here’s a reminder that languages are special elements that make our world unique. Which means Language Teachers…You are incredibly important!

That was our largest comeback in NCAA Tournament history (15 points). It was also the second-largest comeback in the Round of 32 in tournament history. Gritty. Boyz.

If you are wondering how to make your voice heard, one way is by calling your state representatives. Type in your zip code. It tells you the issues at hand so you can select what you’re interested in. Then it gives you the phone numbers to call. It provides an outline of what you might want to say. Call all of the numbers every day! 5calls.org

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN 🐻⬇️

Students who are reading in a language they are still learning may benefit from additional scaffolding to support comprehension. 1. Chunk — Divide the reading into manageable portions. 2. Stop for discussion — Give students frequent opportunities to discuss the reading with their peers. 3. Pause for drawing — Have students do something with the reading such as draw or act out a scene. 4. Read together — Pair students to read with a buddy, read together as a class, or have the class echo read. 5. Use L1 — Leverage students” full linguistic resources including their first language.

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy 113th Birthday to the state of Arizona! ❤️💙🎊🌵

This month, we reflect on, honor, and learn from the incredible legacy of Black history.

Speaking a second language isn’t just a skill—it’s an act of courage. 💪🌎 It’s stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing new worlds, and connecting across cultures. Bravery sounds a lot like bilingualism. #BilingualismForLife #MotivationMondays

Bilingual education has lost one of its giants. Rest in peace, Dr. Bernal. A trailblazer, legislator, fierce advocate, and a remarkable human being. Now reunited with his wife, Mary Esther. @TA4BE @NABEorg youtu.be/ZrxKlFgdMY8?fe… via @YouTube
