The 2024 VESA conference is moving! We can't wait to see you in Williamsburg!
I was honored to receive the Distinguished Service and Excellence in Teaching awards at the @VirginiaESLSA #VESA2023 conference. I received these for the small divisions, who work tirelessly with an office of one, to provide quality instruction for #MLLs Our MLs matter, too!

Reading aloud to students is NOT just for elementary grades or for reading & writing classrooms. It’s for all grade levels, all students, all classrooms. A read-aloud can be as short as 3-5 minutes. It can be a poem, excerpt, brochure, chapter, an article, etc. #WorldBookDay
If you don't have a copy of Teaching Language in Context, i highly recommend it. A functional approach to language is an equitable approach to language.
Such a rich learning experience last night at the "Teaching Language in Context" (Derewianka and Jones, 2012) Book Club session #2 with @RuslanaWesterl Scaffolding activities along the register continuum provides students more resources/tools for meaning-making.

"Multilingual learners can no longer be the few students in the back of the room, whose ideas we'll tap into later when they're able to share them with us in English." ascd.org/el/articles/wh…

.@sramosABC speaks to dual language expert @JoseMedinaJr89 about destigmatizing Spanglish, challenges some Latino kids face for being unable to speak fluent Spanish. "Some Latino children in the U.S. serve as their family's only liaison to American culture," Ramos reports.
"English proficiency cannot be seen as a prerequisite to meaningful participation in the curriculum because this limits engagement.Instead, language must be viewed as something that is developed in the process of learning when students are supported" ascd.org/el/articles/wh… @ASCD
