How do we support Multilingual Learners (MLLs) consistently & strategically?
I'm working with NYC schools that are committed to exploring strategies to support MLLs, reading professional texts, planning scaffolded instruction, and encouraging students to use language in flexible/purposeful ways.

Conferring at its best...
When conferring with readers and writers, having clear and predictable structures is so helpful. This is my go-to structure for goal-setting conferences, which comes from my book, A Teacher’s Guide to Reading Conferences https://buff.ly/40bisd7

I just spent yet another day in a NYC public school supporting teachers in implementing a mandated curriculum that they had no voice in choosing.
Teachers deserve to have a say in decision making. They deserve our trust and respect.

Great ideas on how to nurture a love of reading!
Especially for those implementing a mandated curriculum…
“don’t be afraid to substitute a text that will accomplish the lesson objectives but be of greater relevance or interest to your students.”

"Before curricula and materials, fidelity should first and foremost be to our students."
"How can we make good choices with what we are mandated to use so that our students remain firmly at the center of decision making?"

Starting PD with a school wanting support for teachers of ENLs. Love this question to start a dialogue:
“ In what ways do I invite emergent bilingual students to bring their entire linguistic repertoire so that they can fully construct meaning as writers and thinkers?”
