It's not so much that science students struggle with concepts, it's that they struggle with the language around those concepts. Solving the vocabulary gap is the whole game. #NSTA2026 #ScienceEducation #ELL #BilingualEd

Amazing day in Colorado Springs for the Newcomer Summit! A full day of QSSSA + Visual Non-Glossary work. When the structure is clear, more students speak up And their ideas get stronger! That’s the goal. Not just more talk, but better talk! #Seidlitz #QSSSA #LanguageDevelopment

I’m hosting a free intro to the Visual Non-Glossary webinar on January 13. We’ll dig into how visuals can support academic vocabulary and language development in real classrooms, especially for emergent bilinguals. Please share this so more folks can join us! tinyurl.com/VNG-Intro

Spent yesterday at Northeast HS in Clarksville TN, the day before students came back. They’re committing to implementing the 7 Steps schoolwide! Lots of thoughtful questions about consistency, routines, and how this actually plays out across classrooms. That kind of start to the year feels right!

Last day before break! A lot of solid work happened this semester. Language routines. Clearer instruction. Better conversations in classrooms. Hope the break gives you some real space to reset. Happy Holidays!

Back with NEISD this week. First VNG training for elementary science. And honestly… it just felt great to be back! Once teachers saw how visuals support language, the room relaxed. Less pressure. More student talk. Solid first step!

Excited to be at HSD2’s Newcomer Summit! Sharing sessions on structured conversations and visuals. Two small moves that make a huge difference for newcomer students. Simple routines. Clear prompts. Visuals that actually support thinking. It’s amazing what opens up when kids get those tools!

Isᴀᴀᴄ Mᴀ́ʀǫᴜᴇᴢ @isaacedu.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

December already? Feels like a good time to slow the pace a bit and focus on the work that matters: strong visuals, solid routines, and space for kids to use their voice. Language growth never takes a holiday!

Thanksgiving always makes me slow down and reflect on the work I get to do. I’m genuinely thankful to be part of Seidlitz Education. This team makes it possible to visit schools, work with teachers, and actually see language learning shift for kids. That’s a gift… and yeah, I’m grateful for that.

The admin is freezing $890M allocated to supporting #EnglishLearners (10% of K–12 students). This is inexcusable. Seidlitz Ed remains committed to supporting #ELs & the educators who serve them.

May the 4th be with your small groups, sentence stems, and structured talk time. Because in a language-rich classroom, every Padawan gets to speak. #BilingualEd #StarWarsDay

There’s always one student who barely spoke in August… and now won’t stop raising their hand. We forget how far they’ve come—until they remind us. #MLLsCan #BilingualEd

The best end-of-year feedback? When a student explains a science concept using words they couldn’t even pronounce in October. That’s not just content. That’s language. That’s learning. #AcademicVocabulary #BilingualEd
