@emilyfranESL This makes it so flexible, imagining how I can use this for a non-fiction text. Thanks for the inspiration!🙏🏻

@suzanne_ell Thank! I do not. I just give students the list of what they should look for and they design it

Some are DONE 🤩 Some of our Rainbow Picture Book Reports are DONE ✅📖📚🌈 They’re looking GREAT! Fantastic analysis & so much learning 🤓 #CompellingText #CompellingLit They’re taking long to complete because it’s independent work while pulling small groups 😉

@emilyfranESL That makes it so flexible, I’m thinking how I could use this for a non-fiction text. Thanks for the inspiration!! 🙏🏻

@emilyfranESL @JenStanchfield @ExpTools So yes, this is their ELD class.

@suzanne_ell @JenStanchfield @ExpTools I was wanting to know more about the class for them…is it an intentional class for them or is it their ESL class? Thanks!

@emilyfranESL @JenStanchfield @ExpTools So, yes @emilyfranESL this is their ELD class that I teach.

@emilyfranESL @JenStanchfield @ExpTools SIFE is a program for certain qualifying student. Students are exposed to grade level content in English, History, Math etc with smaller classes and concentration in Language development. ♥️

SIFE brain break!! Thanks for great engaging idea @JenStanchfield @ExpTools

@emilyfranESL @JenStanchfield @ExpTools Students with Interrupted Formal Education, I think the more inclusive acronym is SLIFE that includes L for limited (TN hasn’t added that component)

@suzanne_ell @JenStanchfield @ExpTools What’s a SIFE class?!? Could you share more? Thank you 🙏🏽

@tracyowens27 @DrMaryHoward Listen to podcast “sold a lie”. The truth thru evidence is revealed

@DrMaryHoward NO! Those who are against it most likely have a child they watched suffer through it and then did the research to find it isn’t based on any factual evidence!

"...those who are against balanced literacy are against it because somebody told them to be against it. They were told it was bad, but they don’t in fact know why it’s bad or even know what balanced literacy is." Andy Johnson rss.com/podcasts/drand…

@conley4kids @MetroSchools @WeAreAntiochHS @Wrightmiddle Truly an inspiration and model for other MLLs!!! Way to go, Dr Asaad

Check out this beautifully culturally responsive lesson for newcomers! It capitalizes on what they bring, supports emergent readers, and infuses a great deal of English language use. LOOOOOVE IT!!! #BoostingAchievement #ChoralReading #ESL #Reading #SharedWriting #MLLs

This is important! 🙌

@CKomatsoulis Thank you for putting this article on the Idaho Press’ front page. What a ridiculous and obvious racist bully move by the HOA. I stand in solidarity with Jason Hall.
