Investing in preschool is investing in your child's future communication success. The rich linguistic environment, social interactions, and structured activities provided in preschool settings lay a strong foundation for children's future growth. Here’s why I think preschool is crucial: -Preschools provide an environment rich in language. Through storytime, songs, and conversations… -Preschool encourages social interaction with peers and teachers, which is vital for language development. -Engaging in structured activities like circle time, arts and crafts, and group games encourages children to follow directions, ask questions, and describe their actions and creations. -Experienced educators are trained to support language development. They use strategies to enhance children's language skills. -The routines and consistency of a preschool setting help children understand and use language predictably and effectively. Attending preschool is a critical step in fostering early language development. P.S.. Are you thinking of sending your child to preschool?

Did you know that charter schools in the US serve a diverse range of students from all walks of life? In Ohio, charter schools are a vital resource for families who may not have access to traditional public schools. From urban cities to rural towns, charter schools serve students from diverse backgrounds, including low-income families, English language learners, students with disabilities, and students from culturally and linguistically diverse communities. In Ohio alone, charter schools have a student population that is 45% African American, 25% White, 15% Hispanic, 5% Asian, and 5% Native American. We believe that every student deserves an education that meets their unique needs and celebrates their individuality! #OhioCharterSchools #DiversityMatters #InclusiveEducation"#CharterSchoolsWeek #WeAreCharter#CharterSchoolsWeek #WeAreCharter

Using everyday items can support speech and language development in children. A bowl and spoon can become tools for playful activities like pretending to stir, using them as drums, or scooping balls and pom poms. We can also use small bowls in the bath to pour and scoop water, or fill a bowl with water and different objects to see what sinks or floats. These activities offer opportunities for learning and interaction. ???? #ECIP #ChildDevelopment

"English learners who also have disabilities face their own intersectional issues, researchers and advocates say. They range from schools locking students out of dual-language programs in favor of English-only special education programs, language barriers between schools and families, and teachers ill-equipped to serve their students needs" We appreciate Education Week for highlighting this important and growing need to take an intersectional lens at our students' needs to ensure we are building programs designed for the student, and not trying to fit students into the "boxes" or programs we currently have. Our students do not come with compartmentalized and siloed identities - we need to see them fully, wholly and act accordingly. https://lnkd.in/dpWTBqU4

Determining Special Education Eligibility of English Learners This brief offers considerations for how school leaders can support special education determination for English learner students.? Whether you are a principal, psychologist, or CSE member, inform yourself about this topic because our students can't afford you not to! "Many elementary educators report they are often unsure whether an English learner is struggling due to their limited ability to communicate in English or as the result of an underlying disability (Artiles & Klingner, 2006). This uncertainty may lead to the inappropriate provision of special education services to English learners who do not have a disability, or to a delay or lack of services to those who do (Artiles et al., 2010). https://lnkd.in/eebxyj55 #SPED #SpecialEducation #TwiceExceptionalELLs #TESOL #MLL #ESL #ELL

Monday 11.04 NCEF would like to emphasize the importance family literacy programs play in empowering children and their families to overcome language barriers, improve literacy outcomes and achieve long-term success.? Children who come from non-English speaking homes often face significant challenges in their educational journey, particularly with literacy. When English is not the first language, and sometimes not spoken at all, these children are at a higher risk of falling behind their peers. Learning to read becomes an even more daunting task when a child struggles to understand or speak the language used in the classroom.? Programs like Grace Place Naples Bright Beginnings and Literacy Volunteers of Collier County's Children and Parents Reading Together (CPRT) play a crucial role in addressing these challenges. These programs aim to increase family literacy by actively involving parents in their children's education, thereby creating a supportive learning environment at home. Bright Beginnings focuses on early childhood education, equipping families with the skills needed to foster language development and school readiness. Similarly, CPRT emphasizes the importance of parental engagement by encouraging parents and children to read together, enhancing language skills and building a stronger educational foundation.
