“Federal law requires states to develop systems to hold K-12 schools accountable for the outcomes of all students.” Emphasis on ALL students – English learners/multilingual learners (ELs/MLs) and other historically marginalized groups have distinct needs often not addressed by school systems, and this needs to change. How can you ensure your school is meeting federal compliance while promoting inclusivity? With Intervene K-12’s customized programs that seamlessly fit into existing curriculum frameworks. 🙌 Explore the report below to learn more about state #accountability systems. #Education #LearningDesign #Equity #K12

Teacher: what article do you recommend that I can use to provide hard evidence of effective literacy practices for bilinguals? Me: Click below, it's the latest pub by my friend, mentor and Monolingual Bias Disruptor- Laura Ascenzi-Moreno. In it she drops juicy nuggets like the following: "One essential ingredient in changing this tide (of literacy instruction) is outlining the professional expertise and attitudes that are needed to place EBs’ learning at the center of reading them instruction. Otherwise, EBs will continue to be at the margins of instruction and within the realm of specialists. Translanguaging can play a critical role in shifting teachers’ knowledge about EBs and their resources, ultimately impacting how teachers design reading instruction for them." Please share widely within your circles. #equityineducation #bilingualeducation #schools

🌟The importance of nurturing teacher confidence in order to boost effective mainstream EAL T&L🌟 We all understand the value of inclusive teaching. And we also know that every teacher can be an effective EAL teacher. What often goes unspoken however, is how crucial it is to build teachers' confidence with mainstream EAL T&L and to use a supportive approach to identify ways for teachers to work smarter, not harder when teaching linguistically diverse classes (remembering also to celebrate freely and genuinely what they are already doing well). We've all had experiences when we don't feel like we're very good at something (for me, almost every sport during PE lessons at school). Mustering the motivation and energy to keep going with something when it feels difficult and we're lacking confidence with it is really hard! Very much like the students we teach, we need to believe in our abilities to succeed and we need to see the manageable steps to achieve this chunked down and made accessible for us. So why make it hard for those who find inclusive mainstream teaching challenging? 🌟 Celebrate what's working well and give encouragement to do more of this. 🌟 Provide space for collaboration and sharing of resources, templates and ideas. 🌟 Enquire, listen and then provide targeted support. 🌟 Chunk down the steps for effective, inclusive lesson planning and show how it can be done. How else have you boosted teacher confidence with their mainstream EAL teaching? #eal #teachers #teachersupport #cpd #schoolleadership #schoolleaders #inclusiveeducation

Support for adult development often happens in privileged environments such as resourced corporations and four-year universities. But Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs, often on a shoestring budget, also support the growth of adult learners. I'm happy to share this article on serving adult learners who bring self-authored learning motivations to their ABE programs. https://lnkd.in/g4nkTrKM

This is really positive. Changes to teacher training at uni. The most successful and content beginning teachers are the ones who have some form of working experience in schools before their first full time appointment, whether it be in a casual, part time, paraprofessional or SLSO role. Things are looking promising for education in NSW and these changes will benefit both staff and students... the way it should be. For students to thrive and receive quality education, teachers must be supported and trained correctly and thoroughly. https://lnkd.in/gc8fndai #teach #educate

As I begin my dissertation work looking at foundational skills instruction in Tier I secondary classrooms after teachers have gone through state mandated training, this RAND Report is timely. Biggest take away for me: "Secondary ELA teachers in states with reading legislation were significantly more likely to report frequently engaging their students in these activities than secondary ELA teachers in states without such legislation, even though only one-quarter of states with these laws include requirements around secondary ELA instruction" We know students are entering secondary classrooms not being able to read. I think its time we start investing in content-area teachers and getting them trained in the science of teaching reading. https://lnkd.in/e8bDENM2

📢 📢 Dear ELT professionals, 💡 I'm working on Unit 2 of my DipTESOL- the IRP, and I need your help! 💡 Below is a short survey about your experiences with inductions. The survey serves as valuable data to inform a training needs analysis with which I aim to respond to quality assurance needs in ELT organisations by designing an induction training plan to be rolled out to newly-hired teachers. This is done with the intention of improving the overall accessibility, quality and consistency of lessons for all existing, newly-hired, and cover teachers, as well as for students.  Thanks in advance for your input- it's really valuable! ❗ Note: The trigger for this intervention is the presence of some inconsistencies in quality noticed by teachers and students with a new or covering teacher, as well as needs expressed by new or covering teachers. I wish to highlight that this is not a reflection of any teacher or school, but rather of the information that should be provided in advance in order to effectively deliver and manage the lessons to the school's standard. https://lnkd.in/eFGxgqKN
