During #DigitalCitizenshipWeek, ask: What are students actually doing with the technology? @DrCushanick: “Usage does not equal impact.” For multilingual learners, look for thinking, talking, producing language, checking information & useful feedback. myedtech.life/cushanick/

One Quick Strategy: Plan from the task, then check the PLDs. Keep the grade-level task. Ask: What language support will help this student do it? The ELPS Flip Book 2nd Ed. can help with PLD-informed planning. seidlitzeducation.com/books/… #ELPS #MultilingualLearners

It’s National Day on Writing. For multilingual learners, getting started might mean partner talk, a sketch, a quick list, or notes in the language that helps them think best. Try: “Why do you write?” ncte.org/national-day-writin… #WhyIWrite #MultilingualLearners

Hispanic Heritage Month wraps up today. If something you tried this month really connected with students, keep it going! A new book, more Spanish in the classroom, a lesson tied to students’ lives… no need to pack it away with the decorations. #HispanicHeritageMonth

Got five extra minutes? Try Get Up and Post-It: students write one example tied to the lesson, post it, then sort or regroup the responses. It’s an easy way to turn a few spare minutes into another chance for students to use the language of the lesson. buff.ly/H4XpZwd

Happy #NationalPrincipalsMonth! One walkthrough question worth carrying with you: What are students being asked to do with language? We’re grateful for school leaders who keep asking thoughtful questions and creating conditions for more students to participate.

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
