ELL is a tier one support. Not an intervention. Empower our students. Encourage multilanguage use in the schools. Thank you @ValentinaESL #ELevateSTL22

We differentiate instruction because not all multilingual learners are the same. They each bring unique strengths, individual English levels, and distinct styles of learning to the table. 💪 #DifferentiateInstruction #ELLChat #ELL

I saw Jim Gaffigan last night - he was hilarious. He made a great analogy: My kids were asked to do their school work on the same device they use to play Minecraft. That's like having a Weight Watchers meeting at Wendy's. Kinda true!

Differentiating instruction is more than a few strategies and resources — it is an approach to teaching. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have the right tools. Thanks, @ColorinColorado, for putting this together to support differentiating instruction: hubs.la/H0Zvx2C0
