I was honored to receive the Distinguished Service and Excellence in Teaching awards at the @VirginiaESLSA #VESA2023 conference. I received these for the small divisions, who work tirelessly with an office of one, to provide quality instruction for #MLLs Our MLs matter, too!

@KatieToppel I have this struggle with so many products. I am THE ESL teacher for the division. I don't need 20 licenses for the same grade level, I need to be able to use resources across all grade levels.

@ELteachMN @RuslanaWesterl I agree, Jenny. This book study has been extremely beneficial for me and I am so glad I decided to join! @RuslanaWesterl is a wealth of knowledge and I am honored to learn under her.

Reading aloud to students is NOT just for elementary grades or for reading & writing classrooms. It’s for all grade levels, all students, all classrooms.
A read-aloud can be as short as 3-5 minutes. It can be a poem, excerpt, brochure, chapter, an article, etc. #WorldBookDay

If you don't have a copy of Teaching Language in Context, i highly recommend it. A functional approach to language is an equitable approach to language.

Such a rich learning experience last night at the "Teaching Language in Context" (Derewianka and Jones, 2012) Book Club session #2 with @RuslanaWesterl. Scaffolding activities along the register continuum provides students more resources/tools for meaning-making.

@RuslanaWesterl I'm taking this as a personal invitation. I have been wanting to join this book study, but hadn't quite made up my mind. I will be registering soon!

@crproffitt great to see this slide making rounds. This table (as referenced in the slide, right column), was informed by this book. I'm offering a book study 2/24-3/31. Both authors Bev Derewianka and Pauline Jones will be joining us for our fist session. login.myquickreg.com/register/event…
