Attended this year's eye-opening PD today at SRM! Staff embraces restorative practices for nurturing relationships and caring environments for students to succeed!

Getting set to co-teach SS with my new go-to toolbox this year! Engaging students! Maximizing the learning for ALL! @ElisJohnsonEDU @Larryferlazzo @ellteachertoolbox

@TeachingGems @PSTANews I wear a mask to slow the spread, too! @TeachingGems #SlowTheSpreadSC Help us a keep us safe!

The @PSTANews has joined the #SlowTheSpreadSC campaign. You can upload a picture or video telling why you're doing your part to slow the spread in your area. My reason is pretty simple 🤷🏾‍♀️ ... #PSTA #virtualuntilsafe

@Larryferlazzo Thank you for sharing this amazing tool!!!!

. @KHullSyp & I today completed draft of 10K word chapter on "Distance Learning w/ ELLs." 4 new 2nd edition of ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide. After publisher review, chapter will be made available free 4 download (with no required registration). I'm guessing in 2 wks or less.

So glad I joined the BCSD Think Tanks for interventionists! We're sharing & supporting students and teachers with at-home learning connections! @bcsdschools #BCSDeLearning #CPEBeagles Link drive.google.com/open?id=1PZzzV…

Designed learner pathways at our st. conference! Ever think of what constitutes mastery to parallel park successfully? What would competency look like? I had to demonstrate it👌! It's time to APPLY it & teach a staff member! #EmpoweringNextGenLearners @bcsdschools #PersonalizeSC

Teams of coaches and other leaders engaged in using common tools and other supplies to plan and design 21st century classroom models. #CPEbeagles #FuelingOurCommunity #EmpoweringNextGenLearners @bcsdschools @BeaglesCPE Sample flexible seating option!

@TanELLclassroom @easkelton Exactly..We have to know when to let go..to decrease the supports for their independence and confidence. Time for the next phase!

There is a clear difference between training wheels and a balance bike like is a difference between scaffolding for independence and scaffolding to complete a task! @easkelton's wonderful article has just expanded my thinking on scaffolding: #comment-22074" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bethskelton.com/scaffolding-ba… #esl #eal

CPE is off to a great start with personalized PD for teachers and discussions about Knowing Your WHY! youtube.com/watch?v=1ytFB8… Michael Jr. refresher #CPEbeagles #FuelingOurCommunity #EmpoweringNextGenLearners @bcsdschools @beaglesCPE

@KeganColeman Thank you for your service! I live in SC but was recently in Calhoun City checking on my elderly mother, Allene Miller, who lives a block from elementary school. I will be sure to have her spread the word for the upcoming election! Thank you for all you do and reaching out!

The trail is always full of unexpected surprises, while over in Bruce I saw that one of our elderly citizens had a flat tire. Glade I was able to help her out. We need a Senator who is with the people and not above helping out any way they can. #RaceToAugust6 #LetsBuild

What truly makes our country great is its diversity. I’ve seen that beauty in so many ways over the years. Whether we are born here or seek refuge here, there’s a place for us all. We must remember it’s not my America or your America. It’s our America.

@CMcDavid_GCSD @gcschools @TanyaFranca2 We want to wish Tanya much success! @gcschools picked a great leader!

@gcschools welcomes @TanyaFranca2 and her beautiful family! As approved by the Board tonight, Mrs. Franca will serve as the new ESOL Director beginning In July.

Evidently, there's a high demand for leprechaun traps this time year! The students here taught me it takes problem-solving, thinking critically and what it's like to be innovative! Kids were creating and setting traps everywhere! Watch out! #bcsdschools #BCSDCoachesDeepLearning

Our coach cohort formulated the journey to personalized learning today!!!!Hooray for mapping out Year One plans!! #BCSDCoachesDeepLearning pic.twitter.com/X58SpBnTiM

@Lydia_DiBona @TanyaFranca2 I noticed the 4th bullet there, too, Lydia. It reminds me of the last bullet of the SC TDA rubric in relation to conventions.

Amazing! It’s true that great minds think alike! Upon studying this book the teachers found that the E. Teacher Toolbox ESL strategies work for ALL!

CPE's ESOL co-teachers did reflections of the ETT book study today & got hooked on more learning! Tweeted favorites! Takeaways! Growing professionally! Collaboratively! #ellteacherstoolkit11.0 #ellchat_bkclub @TanyaFranca2 @duffyc3111 @Larryferlazzo @Toppel_ELD @amandaprince88

@Lydia_DiBona @TanyaFranca2 Reflection will do that to us every time! Thank you for making that connection! That's the mark of a learner! It;'s about reflecting on what you would try differently the next time.

@TanyaFranca2 @duffyc3111 #ELLchat_BkClub #CPEESOL #ELLteacherstoolbox Ending out the list for my 10 strategies I tried is #S4 Vocab to be honest this is probably the first strategy I should have tried because of how necessary it is to teaching not just our EL population

@LaidlawAlicia @TanyaFranca2 That's amazing Alicia! What a great way to engage the parents as well!!

My favorite strategy is 23, learning games for reading & writing! I also share games with families during conferences (strategy 39). I have seen a tremendous amount of growth this quarter! 😀💯❤️ #ellteacherstoolkit11 #Ellchat_BkClub @TanyaFranca2 @duffyc3111 #CPEESOL
