#ellchat_BkClub 24.0 B/C This is #truth: Ts can't ignore/strip Ss of lang & build meaningful relationships. Don't speak S's L1? honor the L1 by offering LIT experiences in L1 or English with new role as a dual lang learner Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ Shawn Slakk, EdD @calderonexc

#ellchat_BkClub 24.0 4A2 Why Ts need to read these books too. So we can glimpse into the culture of our Ss and better appreciate them and where they come from and thus know books they may like (Never assume you can understand!) Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ Shawn Slakk, EdD @calderonexc

My Aha’s:Ask what topics ss want to learn about. Give time for ss to connect w each other after lesson. 30 minutes- 3 parts: 1) Warm up “ I am grateful for__because__. 2)present content 3) game. End making them want more. #coronavirusteaching #pivotonline #teachingonline #ellchat

multilinguallearners.com Great blog!

Truth.

This. 😥

So important to not leave students behind and it’s not just being the same.

Do not call us free if we are still enslaved by racism. They distinguished between abolishing slavery and freeing people. In offering postwar policy, Black people were rewriting what it meant to be free. 2/3

I must listen, learn, relearn, unlearn and act! Today I watched 13 and LA 92. Both films were a call to action for me.

Yes! It’s long overdo! I also support criminal justice reform, police reform, a living wage, and policies that affect change for BIPOC communities!

Love this! Today and every day in the future, I will help students find their voice and change the world. We will learn and grow together! We will work to end racism!
