Thrilled to learn that Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines, has been added to the WEPA Libros collection! Its inclusion in the collection aims to celebrate the linguistic diversity within the Filipino community & foster deeper connection to their roots. ¡WEPA! líbros ™
Excited to attend a webinar by one of my fave #WIDA experts! I hope to learn valuable strategies & tips to help our students prepare for the WIDA ACCESS testing. Let's empower our multilingual learners & ensure their success! WIDA™ Carly Spina Thanks Illinois Resource Center (IRC)
As a literacy educator, it is important for me to learn how structured literacy benefits all students, including those from language-diverse backgrounds. Every student should receive evidence-based literacy instruction they deserve. Thanks CORE Learning edWeb.net Collab Classroom
As an ML educator, it is always good to attend webinars that offer insights & strategies for fostering student success. Carly Spina webinars have been a treasure trove of educational wisdom especially in supporting multilingual students. Thanks Illinois Resource Center (IRC) #WIDA #ELLs
E-translators can simplify life for multilinguals. However, translating is the EASY thing to do, NOT the equitable thing to do. IMO, multilinguals would benefit more if we provide linguistic scaffolding & plenty of patience & practice. Dr. Lillian Ardell | Bilingual Ed Advocate ✨ #DrKathyescamilla #MLL #ELL
A symbiotic relationship! Thank you CORE Learning edWeb.net Dr. Elsa Cárdenas Hagan Lingual Learning #structuredliteracy #multilingual

Great webinar last September by Shadia Salem on WIDA™ ELD Standards 2020! Learned how to connect them to CCSS & embed into my units of study. Thanks for the clarity & confidence boost. #WIDA #ELL #professionaldevelopment Illinois Resource Center (IRC)
Highly recommend 🇺🇦 Dr. Ruslana A. Westerlund/Руслана її/her insightful post, "An Invitation to Rethink Comprehensible Input". While CI is crucial, we need to move beyond scaffolds. Prioritize explicit language instruction to empower ELLs & language-rich learning environments #WIDA shorturl.at/xR2W3
Excited to attend this Brisk Teaching session! As a multilingual educator in Vietnam, I'm eager to explore how Brisk can personalize learning for my ELLs. Looking forward to valuable insights and practical strategies! Thanks Ceci Gomez-Galvez (she.her.ella) #BriskTeaching #ELL #MultilingualEducation
Data is useless w/out a story. Teachers are often overwhelmed with data, with not enough training on how to interpret it. My recent Illinois Resource Center (IRC) webinar by Shadia Salem reinforced this – we need to empower teachers to turn data into actionable insights that drive real change
