🌍 How can we ensure that dual language learners (DLLs) thrive in our classrooms while embracing both their home language and English? 🌍 Classroom Language Models (CLMs) offer a structured approach to creating inclusive environments where children’s home languages are valued and supported. Research shows that nurturing a child’s home language alongside English not only promotes linguistic growth but also strengthens their identity and learning outcomes. By gathering data on classroom language needs, choosing the right model, and providing bilingual support through trained staff, educators can foster a multicultural learning space. This ensures every child, regardless of their language background, feels seen and supported. To create lasting impact, it’s essential for programs to align their language models with community needs and offer continuous professional development for teachers. Let’s work together to make classrooms inclusive, where language is seen as a strength, not a barrier!

⭐ This October, let’s celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and recognize the valuable contributions of America’s workers with disabilities! 🎉 With over 61 million adults in the U.S. living with disabilities, it’s essential to actively champion their inclusion in the workplace. This year’s theme, “Advancing Access and Equity,” challenges us to rethink our approach to accessibility and foster inclusive environments for all. When companies prioritize disability inclusion, they unlock numerous benefits, including: 👉 Increased innovation from diverse perspectives. 👉Improved problem-solving through unique approaches. 👉Enhanced reputation as a diversity-focused employer. 👉Better employee retention due to a culture of inclusivity. 💡 To create truly inclusive workplaces, let’s focus on actionable steps, such as improving accessibility, providing disability inclusion training, implementing inclusive hiring practices, offering flexible work options, and fostering a supportive culture. ✨ As we observe NDEAM, let’s remember that inclusion is not a one-time event—it’s an ongoing commitment. Every organization has the power to make a difference. 💬 What steps will you take to promote disability inclusion this month and beyond? Share your thoughts in the comments! #NDEAM2024 #DisabilityInclusion #Accessibility #WorkplaceDiversity #EquityForAll
