Bilingualism is more than knowing more words or speaking two #languages. It’s the ability to think in new ways, connect and interact with a greater variety of cultures, and even navigate the world through a broader spectrum. It never ceases to amaze me how our #bilingual students and their families contribute to our communities. Let’s continue to shine a spotlight on the beauty and gifts of #bilingualism. #multilingualism #éducation #teaching #teachingideas

It’s possible that one of my favorite sections of our new book Welcome to Teaching Multilingual Learners is protecting their rights. ⚖️ This section is likely more relevant today than it was when we wrote it. #multilingual #multilingualism #bilingual_kids #bilingüe #teaching #teachingenglish #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids #éducation #educacion #teachersfollowingteachers #language #sketchnotes #sketchnote

If you are wondering how to make your voice heard, one way is by calling your state representatives. Type in your zip code. It tells you the issues at hand so you can select what you’re interested in. Then it gives you the phone numbers to call. It provides an outline of what you might want to say. Call all of the numbers every day! 5calls.org
