I’m feeling energized and focused after spending the morning at the Multilingual Community of Practice! Grateful for these teachers sharing their struggles and successes with writing instruction as well as brainstorming student support for next year! 💛💙🤩

More than half of the world is bilingual or multilingual. Knowing more than a singular language is advantageous. Like having many routes to a destination, linguistic flexibility can take us further in life. 🙌🏽♥️🌎

Thanks to the WHS staff for their reflective conversations during PL today! Dr. Stephanie Ware Always a treat to spend the day talking about writing strategies #fcpsMEProgram

Great rephrasing of a common practice. Let’s ask kids to turn & learn. This activates their LISTENING! Daniel Wickner

#TeachingTip : 'Enlarge and laminate your writing paper and use it to display a sample piece of writing! Either one you model for your class or a shared writing piece that students can refer back to.' —Former teacher Kylie Barragan
