Yay!

Subbed grades for my Health Impacts of Immigration Enforcement class for Winter19 & wanted to brag on some student presentations (w permission). Final assignments were meant to be creative while drawing on research & commenting on portrayal of immigration/law enforcement/ICE.
Can't wait to meet our future Multicultural Ambassadors! @MissCourtneyELD and I are using the @Tolerance_org social justice standards as a framework for a new club. We've been reading applications all week and are so excited to get started! #pccsel @BentleyBobcats @kimberose1203

Teachers of newcomers, you need this book! Thank you @also_design for honoring people, diversity, and culture in such a beautiful way! @MissCourtneyELD and I used the book as a mentor text with students to teach others about how we do things in our home countries. #pccsel

Wait time between asking a question and calling on someone for an answer -- as well as waiting to respond to an answer -- is an important strategy to include all learners #sketchnote via @ValentinaESL #edchat #teaching #ELL #ESL #inclusion #spedchat
Newcomers working on All About Me books! They conducted interviews to learn more about each other, practiced using question words and possessive pronouns, and worked on memorizing important information such as their new addresses and phone numbers. @BentleyBobcats #pccsEL
