Elementary Multicultural Club. Our monolinguals learn about the countries around the world! Their while sharing what what they had learned was contagious.
Our work is more than integrating ML’s into our school culture, is about teaching our students about other #Cultures too! #MLL
High School representing our #SealofBiliteracy expansion program.
Recognizing biliteracy in all heritage languages in addition to World Language. #MLDepartment #SuperintendentShowcase
Bilingual program represented in our superintendent showcase 💪🏽 . Growing our ML Department and improving student support & integration has been my biggest achievement. #Bilingual #DisrictShowcase #MLL
The accuracy here! This is why I ask principals to let me share ML progress with staff. Teachers often worry their efforts aren’t enough. Highlighting student successes (sometimes just 2 years into middle school) shows their hard work laid the foundation. Teachers want to see their impact!
Here’s the alt text for the image: A presentation slide titled “Meeting the Needs of Diverse Learners through Collaboration, Empowerment & Leadership.” The names Lily Corniell-Cordero, EL, Equity & SS, and Christina Kiley, Supervisor of Special Services, are listed underneath, along with “Plainville Community Schools, October 2022.” The slide features an illustration of four people in a collaborative setting with a flipchart, laptop, and plants in the background.

The image shows a green background with a stylized icon of the Brazilian flag in the center. Below the icon, it states: “You completed 646 lessons in Portuguese. You absolutely crushed it!” A share button is visible beneath the text, along with navigation indicators showing “2 / 11.”
Estou aprendendo português.
Embarking on the journey of learning a new language to better understand the experiences of our ML’s has been eye-opening.
It is only by stepping into their shoes and experiencing it firsthand that we can truly grasp the depth of their journey. #ElSky #EduSky.
The image shows Gloria, a character from Modern family, with long brown hair and a serious facial expression. She is wearing a patterned blue-green top and appears to be in a conversation or argument. The text overlaid on the image says, “Do you even know how smart I am in Spanish?”
Let us recognize that multilinguals bring a wealth of knowledge to our classrooms. A lack of English proficiency is not a reflection of a lack of intelligence or potential. Instead, it is an opportunity to build on their unique strengths & talents as they acquire a new language. #EduSky
Every child that reaches for a book should be met with “windows AND mirrors.”
If readers don’t find themselves and their lived experiences in the books they read, they may find it difficult to connect with reading and to forge a love for reading.

The image shows three copies of the book Ilíada by Homero, part of the Alma Clásicos Ilustrados series. The Spanish translation of “The Iliad”. The book cover is orange with an illustration of two ancient Greek warriors in black, facing each other in combat. One holds a shield and spear, while the other wields a spear. Below the title, the cover notes that the illustrations are by Antonio Santos. The books are stacked on a wooden surface.
"Language access" refers to ensuring that students who are not yet proficient in English can fully participate in school activities, allowing them to understand and engage with the educational system regardless of language abilities. Add copies of literary text in their home language #Elsky #EduSky
