#WIDA2023 was an amazing experience! I engaged in essential learning, strengthened my commitment to serving EMLs, and observed several of my @MCPSDELME colleagues share their expertise while presenting. 10/10 would recommend!

ALT "Teaching is ultimately an act of hope. Every time I teach a lesson, I hope it will inspire learning. Every time I intervene with a struggling student, I hope it will change the trajectory of their path. The temptation to fall into cynicism is alive and well in education. However, hope is a choice I make every day." —Rachel Jorgensen, Educator

@MCPSDELME We had a great day of learning for our SLIFE ELA & Math PLCs. From a fishbowl on collaborative planning in ELA w/ specific decisions about SLIFE, to collaboration & asset based focus during math planning/ instruction, the learning was great! Thank You math & ELA teams!

This week, the Elementary ELD 1st Year Cohort used these 2 great resources to align scaffolds to a lesson's language demands AND our students' linguistic profiles. They are ready to return to their schools to share their learning! 💪🏽 @MCPSDELME @SupportEduc @WIDA_UW
