At yesterday's SIOP Model training, teachers explored a variety of ideas for how students can practice vocabulary. Here are posters they made representing some of the ideas! @APS_ESOL @CAL_LangLit
In today's SIOP Model training, a group of teachers created two examples of how to use graphic organizers to adapt texts for ELs! @CAL_LangLit @APS_ESOL
A useful anchor chart spotted in a classroom today! It clarifies for students the language we use when we compare and contrast. @esol

Who knew there is so much language in math?! I’m prepping for another 3 Read Protocol lesson in @CoryFish215’s class @Warren_Elem.

Want to encourage the teachers in your school to observe and support each other? Consider sharing these positive feedback cards via educator @AMor3liana.
ALT A screenshot of a notecard form with the headline "I came to visit you today!" Along the left is a checklist with the following prompts: (1) Something I saw today that you should celebrate: (2) I had ______ as a former student, and I loved seeing: (3) An AHA moment a student had that I observed: (4) Something you did that you should share with our team. Along the right is space to write.

Talk in math class? 🗣
It's not distraction – it's a sign of critical thinking and #StudentSuccess!
Just ask T @teacherperoff, whose student T created this chart of superb sentence stems:

#EAL learners need explicit teaching of vocabulary in curriculum / content areas. This post shares a range of activities to use in the classroom ealdaylight.wordpress.com/20…

Your ACCESS data is school data- it’s a reflection of how the entire school supports language development. It is NOT merely a reflection of students’ time with their EL Teacher. Language instruction is happening everywhere, with everyone, all day long.
Thank you to my Office of English Learners team for your support and for celebrating my capstone defense with me! @SamKlein_ESOL @kcostarAPS
