Our next book, The ELL Teacher’s Toolbox: Hundreds of Practical Ideas to Support Your Students will be published in one week.
Katie and I will be doing a slow “Twitter chat” on the book until it comes out. We’ll be sharing very short excerpts using the hashtag #ELLTeachersToolbox and welcoming reactions, questions and conversation.
Each week I’ll also collect the tweets and publish them here as one post.
During the first two weeks of April, you’ll also be able to read longer excerpts in The Washington Post, Middleweb, Edutopia, MindShift and Education Week. Katie and I will also be during a Facebook Live event with Ed Week in mid-April.
Here are tweets we shared this past week:
