Yesterday, I taught our #newcomers how to create a timeline to keep track of the main events in the story — our read aloud picture book was Show Way. This morning, as I’m grading their work, I can’t help but smile at their amazing work. I’m confident it’s a skill they now OWN!

Today I gave our newcomers a quiz on these sentences we created 🤪 Kelly (in the video) did very well — oh, did I mention she’s a newcomer who arrived 2 months ago?!? Also, love her translanguage use in sentence #4 🤩🔥🙌🏽 – at Concord, NC

Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) does wonders for Newcomers 🙌🏽🤩 The process of their English acquisition. 1️⃣ analyze the image 2️⃣ create a list of what you see 3️⃣ form sentences using the list of words 4️⃣ discuss what’s happening in the image 5️⃣ unscramble sentences

I remember the first time I heard the term “transadaptation” and it blew my mind. Direct translation is not always appropriate and meaningful. 👇🏽

As Specialists who serve Multilingual learners and content teachers too, we wear many hats. One is coaching our colleagues (sometimes formally and other times casually). Effective ML Coaching includes: 1. being a role model of what our multilingual learners need academically but also socially and emotionally 2. listening carefully to our colleagues and their concerns as they navigate new ways of teaching 3. teaching our colleagues about multilingual learners, their needs, and rights through classroom demonstrations, mini-pds, daily interactions, and more. 4. and helping our colleagues to pull away from old ideas and learn new philosophies without feeling guilty. #RootEDLinguistics #education #multilingualism #Literacy #teaching #ReadingWritingELs #elementary #ELLs #ESOL #ESL #bilingualkids #TESOL #esl

Scaffolds that establish comprehensible input: Background ties students prior experiences and cultural practices to the new content to anchor an abstract concept to familiar concept. Linguistic makes spoken and printed ideas more accessible to raise comprehension of texts and videos. Interactive establishes comprehensible input through collaboration to process information with a peer. Graphic displays numbers, statistics, and data through graphs. Sensory incorporates the senses to process content to make abstract ideas concrete. Graphic displays numbers, statistics ,and data through graphs to communicate numerical and statistical data.

I refuse to believe that “writing domain” is “the last to develop” for MLs 🤔 With a comfortable environment, scaffoldings, comprehensive input, compelling text, interaction with the text, discussions, intentional support, groups, repetition, & teacher feedback…they CAN write! – at North Carolina, USA

“When reports are not scaffolded, they become writing assessments rather than content assessments.” - @tankhuynh @easkelton Illustrations from @virtualgiff ow.ly/WyHb50Q194e
Engineering summative assessments. Make the task more accessible by: placing synonyms behind unfamiliar words, inserting images to provide context, writing multi-part questions as individual questions, providing word banks, embedding sentence starters and sentence frames.
