Mind maps. As schools try to reach a wider base of students, non traditional ways are needed to allow divergently thinking and ESOL students the ability to grow beyond “jumping though hoops”. Today I begin using mind maps. They can take a shot and include it in a doc!

"So you have never taught, never attended public school, never worked in a school situation, & have no degree in education? Tell me more about how schools should be run."

Jeff McQuillan's blog is by far the best source for research in second language acquisition, brilliant and clearly written. backseatlinguist.com/blog/

No surprise here. Duolingo is a great app! Look me up (Terry Platt) and come to my graphic novel/ movie script readers theater class that actually coaches como ELLs how to seek out comprehensible input. #ellsapd #cofc

And therefore when brain research-based TESOL methods are advocated in lay terms to uninformed stakeholders, this is our brick wall. If you use the technical jargon, you immediately get labeled a poindexter.

Best way to get shy teens to collaborate and low key critically think on the first day of a PBL unit? Marshmallow challenge - you will love it- followed by peer eval and journaling. L1 meets L2, and they know this classroom is different.
