Being multilingual is a powerful asset that can connect students to their identity & culture while preparing them for the global workforce.
Today the Biden-Harris Administration announced $11 million to support multilingualism in schools. ow.ly/Bs4750TegjY

.@gcouros My sister just said your opening day keynote at her school in Richmond, Illinois, was the best she’s seen in her 25-year career! She was impressed that we know each other. 😎
Finished my 29th year in education today with this group of dual language fifth graders! ¡El año que viene, voy a ser un intervencionista bilingüe para nuestro distrito! 😎
¡Estamos muy orgullosos de nuestros estudiantes! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The 5th graders in dual displayed phenomenal presentations for their wax museum! Blown away by their culmination project! @LauraKomos @ekhewitt #duallanguage
Yes!! Preach, @JoseMedinaJr89!!! 🙌🏼

Educational advocates! #DualLanguage educators! Today is the perfect time to chip away at educational systems that continue to further marginalize culturally and linguistically diverse student communities! ¡Ándale! ¡Sí, se puede! #C6BiliteracyFramework

This was such a powerful experience and important presentation!
When your Bilingual Polish teacher and Ukrainian Polish teacher present on the Science of Reading and MLs. You present using Ukrainian, Polish and Spanish. Phonics and English only cannot be the only focus for MLs. Staff experienced this first hand. @MLSylwia #Multilingual
There's a HUGE difference between "having an equity committee" (statement, plan, etc) and actually doing the work to disrupt the systems that continue to perpetuate inequalities and injustices.
The world needs more administrators and instructional leaders who are willing to step into classrooms and model best practice strategies for teachers! So grateful. ♥️ Thank you @Guategirl1122 and @MrsJacobson2 #duallanguage #multilingual
Those same decisions and actions also either help teachers succeed or hold them back.
Let me say it louder 📢 for those on the back. “Your decisions and actions as instructional leaders will either help students succeed or hold students back”. #LeadershipMatters #LeadershipDevelopment #txed #edchat #schoolimprovement #tier1 #GrowthMindset #Leaders #coaching

Acknowledging that inequities and racist practices exist is a good starting point.

Starting a new unit of study soon on climate change, and we're definitely going to do this!
An excellent strategy to increase family participation and home-school communication, honour home languages, and activate prior knowledge before starting a new unit: send home pictures to discuss. seidlitzblog.org/2023/07/26/… by @ValentinaESL #WRDSBMLL #OntEd

Advocacy can be scary especially when a large group of people is aggressively fighting for the opposite.
Don't let pressure change your core beliefs. Stand up, be strong, be courageous.

For the first time in my 29 yr teaching career, an admin from district office came teach a lesson in my classroom. Not to visit. Not to observe. To model a lesson. @Guategirl1122 continues to amaze & inspire me to get better at my teaching craft for our #duallanguage students!
♥️♥️♥️
How amazing.. listening to the school doing the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish over the loudspeaker. 🤩 @LauraKomos The Dual students were loud and proud
