This section contextualized California EL Education. It feels personal and lived, which helps us to anchor a critical perspective about what educators are "supposed to do". As we grow and learn, apply and share, I want to keep considering the decolonization of education, centering culture and language of the people present in the learning room.

I have wondered why there was this idea that losing your home language was ideal when I was a child and reading the this I realize that it was policy. Recognizing that students who are multilingual have a rich background of knowledge that they bring to the classroom is so important to helping students and communities be sucessful.

I was in grad school during this time and my focus was ELs. We talked a lot about the value of primary language and bilingual education.

As a middle school teacher, I always focused on the transition/signal words when teaching cohesion (especially in writing).

I loved the charts and language hunt! Importance of purpose of language within text.

# data[].attributes.body
Loved the emphasis on co-constructing these charts rather than providing a pre-written list. Students will feel empowered to add to a chart throughout the unit/semester. A confidence-building and productive form of expression.

I also really appreciated the "less is more" reminder. Sometimes we can feel pressured or tempted to go for breadth and teach all the language features, but identifying the priority focus your group of students is key. And then there's a much better chance that the learning will stick.
