Multilingual learners flourish when Instruction is infused with language. That means that every teacher and every content area, deliberately plans instruction that incorporates, listening, speaking reading and writing.

“Instruction in handwriting is not about making handwriting pretty or perfect but instead about automatizing letter and word formations to free up working memory for the significant idea management necessary for good writing.” @williamvancleave
I LOVE this article because it draws from decades of writing research, including that of S. Graham, V. Berninger, emphasizing the importance of explicit, systematic handwriting in daily literacy instruction. #ScienceOfWriting

Thirty years ago, on this day, legendary visionary and labor organizer Cesar Chavez passed away at the age of 66. To this day, Chavez is stirring knowledge, pride, and fearlessness in our multiracial struggle for a just world.

For so long, I thought my duty as an educator was to “save” students and families. I am working hard to move way from this savior ideology. Instead, I have embraced desmadre in the name of equidad and social justice. ✊🏽

While the original graphic was designed several years ago, I finally finished updating this infographic: The ABCs of #Teaching #Multilingual Learners.

Our 4th graders enjoyed creating their own books about homophones & are super pumped about using them to teach their younger siblings & friends! @ClarkCreekSTEM @CLaneLiteracy @crabb_andrea

The first thing we can do to create a welcoming environment for students is to pronounce their names correctly and not asking them to change their names because it is difficult for us to pronounce.

It’s amazing how so many people want to see public schools improved but don’t value the voices of teachers and students in reimagining education. And sadly, schools are still struggling b/c everyone isn’t at the table. #ProfessorJBA #teacher #PGeducator #equity #school ✏️🍎📚

One of my most-asked-for tools is this proficiency level tool to help teachers understand a "snapshot" of how to serve across language levels. The old link is gone, so I wanted to link it up on my new blog: movingbeyondformls.blogspot.…
