Seems that only recently I realized it was actually the middle of summer! (Not that you can tell very much from the weather here in the Bay Area.) So I took a little leave of absence.
And now, it's time to return to work.
The Back-To-School Sales are in full swing, state budgets are still one month away from realization, CELDT testing for kindergartners is taking place, teachers are being hired and re-hired and so on.
And I continue with all things ELL and look forward soon to a new school year full of promise, challenges, opportunity and learning for all of us- administrators, teachers, counselors, paraeducators and of course, our students.
As a new year arrives, let's remember that ALL that is discussed here, all that pertains to English Learners, is relevant and applicable to all students. If we ALL learn this simple yet powerful maxim, EVERY school year would be successful for ALL of our students!
Stay tuned to resume our conversation
About Me
- Weezy
- I am an extrovert by nature and an introspect when necessary. I enjoy life and do not take it for granted. My passion is to help educators become more effective at what they do, not only through changing practices, but changing assumptions about the students they teach- particularly, students of color, Standard English Leaners, English Language learners and all others who have been systematically denied access to core curriculum and subjugated to low expectations.
