I had the opportunity to present my work at @TheFCRR this week, surrounded and supported by female leaders in my field. I hope all women get to feel so empowered by their leaders regarding their work and life passions. One day, I hope to pay this experience forward. @poWOMENer

I’ve taught ELL in France. 🇫🇷 I’ve taught ELL in Singapore. 🇸🇬 I’ve taught ELL in Mexico. 🇲🇽 I now teach FSL in Canada. 🇨🇦 I wish I’d known the “bilingual brain”research earlier in my career. The #ScienceOfReading is not just for English monolingual students. It’s essential for #ELL and #MLL students too! colorincolorado.org/article/…

“Teachers do not need to choose between instruction that builds knowledge and that which teaches literacy foundational skills. They can occur in tandem and complement each other across a rich literacy curriculum.” ascd.org/blogs/helping-stude…

In Mrs. Washburg's and Mr. Isley’s classes, students have been designing grammar based board games to test knowledge of prefixes. Today, they swapped classes and played the games. @CvilleSchools @Buford_Middle
