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.

ESL/ESOL stands for English as a second or other language, NOT English as a SOLE language.

🌟even though in ESL programs the instruction is provided in English, students’ first languages should be valued, respected, & leveraged. 🌟

Let’s consider how UDL framework supports multilingual learners.

#UDL (CAST, 2016) is an instructional framework commonly used in sp education to design equitable learning environments for ALL learners.

3 core principles:
1. ENGAGE
2. REPRESENT
3. EXPRESS

I am so worried about my students. La Migra was spotted around our area today, and families are rightfully terrified. It is heart-breaking and I feel powerless. Schools are safe, right? Schools have to be safe. @aclu.org #ELsky #edusky

Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Teaching www.middleweb.com/46877/cultur... is an excerpt from a book @khullsyp.bsky.social and I wrote about teaching ELLs #ELsky
Teaching So We Are Both Culturally Responsive and Sustaining
A pedagogy that is both culturally responsive and culture-sustaining needs to underlie and guide all our classroom practices, write Ferlazzo and Sypnieski.

The Student Spotlight is definitely a hit in the class. It warmed my heart today how they all started with sentence frames but now they are creating genuine and kind things to say about each other. #BlackEduSky #EduSky #ELsky #blacksky
