Sentence Frame Swap Instead of: “I think ___.” Try: “Based on ___, I think ___ because ___.” A good frame should support the thinking a task requires without doing the thinking for students. #MultilingualLearners #AcademicLanguage #SeidlitzEducation
Just a reminder that English proficiency does not equal intelligence, that languages build on one another, and there’s a difference between language needs and learning struggles. That’s all. Spread the word. #language #languagelearning #teachingkids #teachingenglish
Before you say “turn and talk,” do a quick QSSSA prep check: Is the question worth discussing? Did students get think time? Do they have a useful stem? Do they know how the share will work? A little structure makes the conversation much more purposeful! #QSSSA
A silent newcomer in Sept is not a blank slate. They are deciding if your room feels safe. Before assuming they don't understand: 1. Give them a nonverbal way to participate 2. Check what they can do in their first language 3. Notice if they're watching or avoiding #Newcomers
Hot off the press! New post on English-only Education for MLs. valentinaesl.com/blog/english-o…
I’ve never heard anyone say that speaking one language is their superpower. Why? Because it’s well known, and supported by decades of research that speaking more than one language offers tremendous benefits. Multilinguals often demonstrate greater cognitive flexibility, stronger problem-solving skills, enhanced perspective-taking, and the ability to communicate across cultures and communities. Yet in schools, we sometimes focus on what multilingual learners are still learning in English rather than recognizing the linguistic assets they already possess. A child who speaks two or more languages is not behind, they are bringing an extraordinary resource to the classroom. Their first language is not an obstacle to overcome. It is a foundation to build upon. Let’s shift from a deficit mindset to an asset-based perspective. Multilingualism isn’t something to remediate. Let’s value and celebrate multilingualism. #language #languagelearning #bilingual_kids #teaching
The magic doesn’t happen without intentional and deliberate planning for the success of multilingual learners. ValentinaESL.com #languagelearning #multilingualkids #bilingual #teaching #teachingenglish #teachingenglish #teachingideas #teachingresources
@AmyBermudezEDU @PISD_Libraries @Prosper_JonesMS That’s amazing!!! Bragging rights ✅
Prosper ISD extends a heartfelt thank you to @HEB for its incredible support of public education across Texas! 🍎 We’re especially grateful for their partnership here in Prosper and we were proud to celebrate them at this year’s Convocation.
The second edition of the ELL Teacher’s Toolbox is amazing! This is a resource I can’t recommend enough to educators of multilingual learners. @Larryferlazzo & @KHullSyp
What is background knowledge and how do we build it? Background knowledge is an essential element to reading comprehension. What we know impacts what we understand. We can increase understanding by building background knowledge through the use of multimedia, a wide range of reading on a topic, playing with words, and connecting ideas with analogies. #teaching #teachingenglish #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids #ESOL #ESL #bilingualschool #multilingualism #multilingualchildren #literacymatters

Watching my daughter read to learn makes my heart sing; I’m eternally grateful to all the teachers in her life who helped her learn to read. It is truly magical.
I love this. Instead of MODIFYING a lesson, think about how to develop students' ability to access the standard + practice the academic language required of that lesson.
@TanKHuynh Sometimes confusing because we focus on how to modify the lesson for our MLLs instead of integrating opportunities for building background, discussing, and interacting with the content at their level, so that everyone can progress towards the objectives.
@HaysLibraryPISD The library is the ❤️of Hays MS and @AmyBermudezEDU is the best librarian in the universe! And, yes, the book IS better!
