FIRST LANGUAGES IN THE EARLY YEARS Learning in children’s first languages is most critical in early childhood care and education (ECCE). 1. First languages as the only or dominant language of instruction in pre-school and early primary is the foundation for quality first language-based multilingual education (L1 MLE) and builds strong foundational literacy and numeracy skills and learning outcomes 2. L1 MLE and ECCE reinforce one another’s goals, ensuring long-term target benefits and increasing programme effectiveness 3. Efforts at local and national levels must ensure that policies and programmes promote promising evidence-based practices in both areas Read about synergies and challenges about ECCE and L1 MLE https://lnkd.in/gV6Z3Dxc

I'm excited to share that I'll be hosting a 4-part series on Family Engagement for the New Hampshire Department of Education. This series is designed specifically for educators of English Language Learners in NH schools. Drawing on the research-based principles of WIDA's ABCs for Family Engagement, the series will provide practical strategies and resources to strengthen family-school partnerships. Education is a collaborative effort. Collaboration between families, schools, and communities is key to supporting ELL achievement. If your school or district is interested in customized coaching or training on family engagement or other topics related to English Learners, please reach out! I would love to learn more about your needs and goals. How do you engage families of ELs? What questions do you have about family engagement? Let me know in the comments.

👩🏻🏫 Elevating Immersion Pedagogy: The Key Role of Teacher Professional Development 📚 For immersion pedagogy to truly benefit Emergent Bilinguals, teacher professional development is non-negotiable. Many educators feel unprepared to effectively support Emergent Bilingual students in their classrooms, especially with the increasing diversity of languages and cultural backgrounds. Educators need specific training to navigate the complexities of teaching in an immersion setting, where students learn curriculum content through a second language. This includes strategies for differentiating instruction, assessing language proficiency alongside content knowledge, and integrating cultural responsiveness into teaching practices. Investing in professional development ensures teachers are equipped to support Emergent Bilinguals' linguistic and academic growth effectively, turning potential challenges of immersion education into opportunities for enriched learning experiences. How can we ensure continuous professional development opportunities for teachers in immersion programs? Share your thoughts and experiences. #TeacherDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth
