Professional Growth - English Through Content Is Critical

Dr. Kate Kinsella's 5 for All - Instructional Norms to Accelerate Academic Language and Chris' concept of our "Collective Energy" are reinforced by this recent Edutopia ARTICLE.

"When the science teacher is using “but, because, so” sentence routines to help students understand relationships in an ecosystem, while in the next room the history teacher is using the same structures to help students identify the effects of colonialism, it reinforces writing and thinking for students."

The article promotes the 4th of the 5 practices in "Teaching Language" with an emphasis on sentence structures. Here's a link to the RESOURCES shared by Dr. Kinsella, also in the Teacher Soundbytes.
