• Plan clear, cohesive lessons and tasks that motivate students to produce language, use critical thinking skills, and access complex texts

• Offer ample time for student-led talk that ramps up knowledge and amps up a sense of belonging

• Use heterogeneous, flexible grouping so children acquiring English don't stall out in fixed-mindset, below-grade level groups

• And much more

Teachers act like tributaries, helping learners access a wider stream of knowledge, and catch the swift current of* wanting * to learn. It's time to envision this expansiveness for multilingual students. It's time to design learning experiences with optimism for their futures.
