Summer Newcomer Academy day 4️⃣ We wrapped up week one completing “Identity Wheels”—This @EllevationEd strategy was perfect to wrap up our read aloud “Same, Same but Different” #SummerSchool

Celebrating WIDA Access success! 💙🦁💛

Excited to begin the afternoon w/ our SMILes as we think about co-teaching & co-planning & how we can support & coach our teachers w/ this important work! #fcpssecmath Thanks @LizMirandaFCPS, Barb, Tim, and Laila for your partnership! @FCPSCurriculum @KathyGullCII #FCPSPL

Here is just one example of how our #fcpsMD ME Program Teachers lead the way with supporting colleagues in their schools. Love it!

MEP creates school wide gestures for consistency! Consistency <> Continuity <> Connection. Let’s go Huskies! #SIOP @JennStotler @jennco02

Great reminders here for scaffolding up to our MLs! Check it out #fcpsMD

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming back over 140 #fcpsMEProgram teachers for Curriculum Day. This year we are committed to developing literacy across content areas, co-teaching, and ensuring we listen to the voice of our ML community! @KaitlinMooreEdD @MeganHailu

Thanks @barbaradanoff @AllisonSzot @CindyJournell and @LizMirandaFCPS for a wonderful morning focused on co-teaching! Powerful discussion about the benefits of co-teaching models for students and teachers! #FCPSisSpecial

Become INTENTIONAL about incorporating and using the linguistic assets students have. 🌟 This has the potential to change their trajectory and social and academic outcomes. 💫 #teaching #teachingtips #multilingual #bilingual #ESOL #ESL #TESOL

This afternoon I had the opportunity to spend time in a Kindergarten class of MLs at Waverley. The enthusiasm these students had towards learning in math was electrifying 🙌 Ongoing opportunities for academic discourse increases overall student engagement!

More than half of the world is bilingual or multilingual. Knowing more than a singular language is advantageous. Like having many routes to a destination, linguistic flexibility can take us further in life. 🙌🏽♥️🌎

Thanks to the WHS staff for their reflective conversations during PL today! @DrWare_FCPS Always a treat to spend the day talking about writing strategies #fcpsMEProgram

Great rephrasing of a common practice. Let’s ask kids to turn & learn. This activates their LISTENING! @DanielWickner

#TeachingTip: "Enlarge and laminate your writing paper and use it to display a sample piece of writing! Either one you model for your class or a shared writing piece that students can refer back to." —Former teacher Kylie Barragan

A great day of learning for FCPS Support Staff! The largest turn out we have had- 705 registered. Thankful for this amazing team and the FASSE board for making this event possible!! #fcpssupport

Did you know that FCPS has many modes of communicating with our multilingual families? Thanks to the staff who joined me today from across FCPS to learn about Language Line & TalkingPoints, just to name a few! #fcpsMEProgram
