Thank you to @ahonigsfeld.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to contribute meaningful scaffolded resources to this book! If I had a magic wand 🪄, the PWIM Template on page 79 would be it! The book is fabulous!

Plot mapping is one type of graphic scaffold that helps students identify the key elements of narrative texts while building reading comprehension and analytical skills. Discover more scaffolding strategies for content area teachers: www.corwin.com/books... @ahonigsfeld.bsky.social‬

Multisensory scaffolds help #multilinguallearners access grade-level curriculum while they're still developing English fluency, using students' senses to make learning more engaging and accessible. Learn more in the new book: www.corwin.com/books... @ahonigsfeld.bsky.social‬

Examples of Multisensory Scaffolding for Multilingual Learners:
Visual experiences such as images, anchor charts, graphic organizers, and videos build language in meaningful context and support content learning.
Auditory experiences such as songs, rhymes, chants, and recorded text enhance listening skills, pronunciation, fluency, and understanding of language patterns.
Tactile experiences such as base-ten blocks, 3D models, science experiments, and time capsule creation provide discovery learning to promote critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, and innovation.
Kinesthetic experiences such as historic event reenactments, mock trials, gallery walks, Total Physical Response (TPR), and scavenger hunts strengthen engagement and authentic language use promoting communication and collaboration in real-world contexts.

What determines a quality curriculum for multilingual learners? In their book Co-Planning, @ahonigsfeld.bsky.social and Maria Dove expand on the work of Bunch and Walqui (2019) to answer this question. Download the free checklist: ow.ly/oLJZ50VgvVc #MultilingualLearners #AssetBased

Checklist for a High-Quality Curriculum for ELs/MLs:
-Learning targets and success criteria that are clearly established for language development and content learning as well as aligned to state and local standards
-Learning activities and assessments that are aligned to language- and content-learning targets Instruction that is rigorous, relevant, meaningful, and comprehensible for all students
-Instruction that taps into students’ prior learning and background knowledge
-Topics of diversity and marginalized voices that are integrated into the curriculum in contrast to token learning opportunities

Been reflecting on @ahonigsfeld.bsky.social’s thought in our @theedcollab.bsky.social think tank last week: “in my view, the work does not stop. We keeping going. We keeping doing what matters.” I so appreciate that boost. Now is not the time to dim our light or give up. We need to keep pushing.
