@SherryTeacher @KatieToppel @emilyfranESL @AndreaHonigsfel @CaterinaTeach @AlisonAbrahim @Larryferlazzo 1. Visuals 2. Comprehensible input 3. Questioning 4. Using first language to assess prior knowledge

What are your MUSTS for supporting #MLL? 1. Sentence stems/ frames/ starters 2. EXCESSIVE amounts of accountable talk (before writing, too) 3. Inquiry (student-generated ??s) 4. What else? @KatieToppel @emilyfranESL @AndreaHonigsfel @CaterinaTeach @AlisonAbrahim @Larryferlazzo

I know we talk about translanguaging as a way for students to learn content. That's NOT enough. Translanguaging is about strengthening students' connections to their culture through language.

@ELLLisbeth @SDLBACK @AndreaHonigsfel @claribel716 These are indeed great questions to guide our teaching every single lesson!

Great reflection questions I can add as I coach teachers while preparing their lessons for Math and Science . @SDLBACK @AndreaHonigsfel @claribel716 #equity #MLL

@SarahAlMay @KerynDowling @JAdamsLux @mathsmakesense Absolutely, small group instruction is very effective, we have to group the students purposefully and change groupings depending on setting and context to avoid the feeling of being grouped by ability. Language learners benefit from a variety of language models within a group.

@KerynDowling @YVroklage @JAdamsLux @mathsmakesense …And also assess to accurately understand each child’s next steps and use that within the class to avoid the need for an isolated learning situation.

@SarahAlMay @YVroklage @JAdamsLux @mathsmakesense How do you think we could enhance small group instruction further?

Just back from a conference in Genoa! So inspiring to work with educators from around the workd. Thanks @nordmeyerj and @ksolomon81. You showed us how powerful and effectieve good co-teaching can be! #WIDA #NFI @ISGenoa @SarahLHarger

How do we view inclusion and diversity? As an educational liability or as an asset? Something to reflect on!#WIDA #NFI @nordmeyerj @ksolomon81 @SarahLHarger

We need to take time for reflection to improve our teaching. We all know it, but do we do it enough? #WIDA #NFI @nordmeyerj @ksolomon81 @SarahLHarger

Looking through the window of co-planning, co-teaching, co-assessing & co-reflecting to build intentional learning environments to engage all learners.Grateful for another rich day of exploring collaboration with LS + EAL teachers in Genoa. #WIDA #NFI @ISGenoa @ksolomon

Collaboration takes time, we need to be intentional and capable of turning problems into opportunities #WIDA #nfi #isluxembourg

Collaboration is about exchanging knowledge and different perspectives. #EAL #learningsupport #WIDA #NFI

@SarahLHarger Totally agree with you. We are in this together! @ISLuxembourg #WIDA #EAL #learningsupport

I now KNOW we are heading in the right direction. Supporting students, all students, takes true collaboration between everyone. No one person knows the right answer. Together we can find the best supports. 😊 #isluxembourg #nfi #wida #learningsupport #eal #studentsupport

How do we see ourselves as educators? The importance of collaboration. #WIDA #NFI #@nordmeyerj @ksolomon81

@hmafj Are you here as well?

@YVroklage @nordmeyerj Yes me too!

Looking forward to returning to Genoa for another workshop bringing together #WIDA and #NFI. Looking through twin lenses, we will collaboratively inquire into how specialists can work together to serve a range of diverse learners. wida.wisc.edu/grow/pl/us-bas…
