Meri Petkovska

@NJEXCEL Thank you so much!

Congrats to Meri Petkovska (July 24/M3/N) who was appointed as Supervisor of Bilingual Education, ESL, and World Languages K-12 in the Bound Brook Public Schools, effective August 1, 2025!

Proud of my son, Luka Petkovski!

English Learners/Multilingual Learners will struggle to make linguistic progress & academic if they are afforded language instruction in isolation only. The most effective instruction is deliberately INFUSED with language. There. I said it.

You don’t need to translate everything! You can use visuals & translaguaging to scaffold understanding.

@ValentinaESL Среќен Божиќ, Srećan Božić, Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, joyeux Noël, καλά Χριστούγεννα!

How many ways can you say Merry Christmas? Srecan Bozic, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel, Merry Christmas #MerryChristmas

@theellteacher Awwww…. Thank you!!! ❤️

@MMerip Oh how I wish I could attend! 🙌😍

If you have a newcomer added to your MATH class, what type of scaffolds do you need to provide to your student? How much does the student know English with an ELD 1 or 2 on ACCESS or WIDA Screener? Prepping my MATH PD😜#MLLs #WIDA

@Krystynateaches Thank you so much!!! Trying to get the message across to all gen Ed teachers how our MLLs feel when the content is not scaffolded.

Math lesson without & with scaffolding👇🏼 Getting my PD ready for the math department! Putting the math teachers in MLL’s shoes! #MLL #scaffolding
