@MNPS_EL Ms. Leos has decorated many walls with this great social studies academic word list. It’s impossible not to absorb these key words. @ItsallThurgood

@AntiochMSBears coteaching teams continued their learning and combined their assets to create their co-teaching superhero. Combined assets bringing hope and positivity to their shared classroom. @MNPS_EL

@MNPS_EL I was so thrilled at the engaging faculty at Isaac Litton Middle school who I had the opportunity to lead through the first part of a Thinking Maps training. I am excited to see how they implement the first four maps over the next six weeks.

⁦@MNPS_EL⁩ and ⁦@ItsallThurgood⁩ I love walking in and heading up the stairwell to be greeted by academic language in a word wall with visuals aligned to each term. I know students appreciate and absorb this as they transition. Ms. Leos striving and supporting MLS!

TNTESOL hosted by @MNPS_EL what a strong partnership and what informative and practical sessions over the last few days. Enjoyed my session and thanks to @DStaehrFenner for attending it.

A fantastic engaged bunch of teachers from @McMurrayMiddle and @Wrightmiddle extending their learning of Thinking Maps for part two and four more maps. Of course you have to throw in some interaction to keep the focus! @MNPS_EL

Amazing to hear from Edward Steinman who won the case and Trish Morita Mullaney author and professor who closed out #WIDA24 with the story of Lau vs Nichols. What an honor to hear from them both! And I will be buying her book for sure.

So thankful for all the positive feedback we received on a session on how to integrate content and language across all content areas today and yesterday. We were able to interact with around 200 educators from across the USA. #WIDA2024 @MNPS_EL

#WIDA2024 kicking off in Pittsburgh. Loved hearing Quiara Allegria Hudes talk about language in all its forms. Need to watch “In the Heights” now.

Really enjoyed attending my first AVID Excel class @Wrightmiddle today. Ms. Adam had the students speaking and writing about an Emerson quote within the first 10 minutes. Way to go! @MNPS_EL

I had a great time working with @Wrightmiddle teachers yesterday to help build their capacity to implement academic conversations in their classrooms. I loved the way the teachers really took on board the importance of body norms. @MNPS_EL
