The toolbox includes different sites that promote technological learning, graphic organizers, listening, speaking and writing skills. I've already used the Videos with Quizzes page with my students and they have enjoyed it.

The collection of professional development sites that I created include State of Oregon standards and resources for ESOL teachers. These sights are useful for finding creative ways to meet state standards and supplement creativity and instructional design.

# data[].attributes.body
These sights mostly directed toward bilingual families and potential resources. Sites include local/regional resources, ESOL Law, and tips for parenting bilingual children. Sites include supports for nurturing bilingual learners and stories about growing up bilingual. A very informative collection that highlights a variety of aspects of bilingualism. I was surprised that the sights didn't provide more information in Spanish.

Understanding how school discipline policies can contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline is essential for educators and families. Harsh punishments, automatic out-of-class time and police involvement for discipline can push young people out of classrooms and into the criminal legal system. But educators, parents and caregivers can help to change this harmful system by advocating for and implementing practices that prioritize mental health and well-being.

We offer this new resource page that highlights LFJ articles and content to open dialogue, shift practices and foster change to benefit all young people.

To Those Who May Be Interested,

I haven't updated for over a year as I have been involved with other activities. I do plan on getting back to it, so for those of you who have used my materials, any feedback is very welcome as I start a new round before terribly long. There are some amazing TEDTalks that I am itching to turn into lessons. Thanks and I hope what I've done so far has been a help. Thank you! Doug

Growing Up Bilingual was created to share our journey as we looked for ways to help our children stay connected to their roots and keep our home language alive. 4 years have passed and as my children grow we have encountered new challenges. They often come home from school asking: "why don't other kids speak Spanish?"
