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!

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.

New research shows all Ss—documented, undocumented, citizens—are negatively impacted when their community falls under ICE scrutiny. Surprising? Not at all. via @Chalkbeat www.chalkbeat.org/2025/11/10/i...
ICE arrests could hurt student test scores, study says — and not just for immigrants
A study of a large Florida school district found that the effects of immigration enforcement on students’ academic performance was concentrated in high-poverty schools. The test score declines also…

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.

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.

This Earth Day, let's remember that the planet isn’t the only thing worth sustaining. 🌎

Sustain home languages.
Sustain cultural identities.
Sustain student voice.

Multilingual classrooms are ecosystems too. 🌿

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.

Spring isn’t just for flowers—it’s for blooming vocabulary 🌱 The Visual Non-Glossary gives students a way in to tough terms. When they can see it, they can say it.

💭 What’s one term you've seen your students struggle with?
