So thankful to actively collaborate with a team of expert ELD content teachers at @NewcomerAcademy in @JCPSKY ! 100% engagement in tier 1 curriculum while building English language for our MLs. #WeLoveOurJob @JCPSDEP1 @KYRefugeeOffice
By 2030, it’s projected that 40% of K-12 students will be English language learners. “As the population of multilingual students increases, we must ask ourselves, are we fully prepared to support them?”, says intervention specialist Johanna Zuniga. 🧵1/9
