May I just point out that these ELs are GOING INTO FIRST GRADE and are already co-creating 3 sentence paragraphs together!! 😍@SPSELD @officialSPS @WilderElem
This training is genuinely one of the BEST I’ve ever been to. #Seidlitz7Steps
@DrMericaClink! I am so proud of the ELD team at @officialSPS! When educators come in on a summer day, and then say it was one of the best trainings they've ever been to. You know we've done some great collaborating!! #Seidlitz7Steps
Using environmental print is EVERYTHING. We’ve been on a panda and polar bear journey! We are rewarding our hard work with some drawings that we will then turn into fictional stories. Creativity is important! YES our EL’s can do it. @SPSELD 🐼🐻❄️

We as a country have minimized the teaching profession so much that we are okay with teachers needing a second job to survive.
I am not okay with it, our teachers deserve better and at @usedgov we are working to make better happen.

@DrCarolSalva and @Seidlitz_Ed more research to add to the value of QSSSA. The first step allows the learner to have the pause needed after hearing new vocabulary before using it! neurosciencenews.com/languag… @MsBentonELD

After keynoting #ELevateSTL22 and sharing at 2 breakout sessions, I went home and revised this graphic. Multilingual Learners in Missouri

Great learning at the #ELevateSTL22 with some of the @SPSELD team. Thanks @RobGreenhaw!
As I transition into my new position as an ELD specialist next year, I have gathered some summer reading! Time to learn. Time to grow. Time to be better. 🤘📚
iReady has begun… can you tell it’s the end of the year?? 😂 Gross? Probably. Keeping the stress low after weeks of testing? For sure. I dig it.
I love these kiddos. @sherwoodsps @officialSPS

First day back from “virtual land” (as I like to call it) and these kiddos got right to it during GR group today! This is my “bubble” group and where I get most geeked about moving kids’ learning. Let’s keep going. #growingtogether @officialSPS @sherwoodsps
