As we’ve started our walkthroughs across schools, we are seeing SO many great things happening in our ESL/ML classrooms! ❤️

Our students are analyzing their data, reflecting on their learning, and setting goals based on what they see. We’re seeing lessons intentionally connected to both ELD and content standards, with clear learning targets and expectations. You can clearly see how Teacher Clarity is shaping instruction, and, on top of that, the creativity our ESL teachers bring every day to increase student engagement while keeping learning rigorous. 🙌

There is so much thoughtful, intentional work happening in our classrooms, and it is exciting to see it in action! We are so proud of our ESL teachers and the learning environments they are creating for our multilingual learners! 💙 Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools

Last week, our Elementary ESL/ELD teachers came together for PLT! 💙🌎📚

We had a chance to collaborate and dig deeper into Teacher Clarity, but we also stepped outside for a fun team-building activity filled with collaboration, problem-solving, and plenty of laughs! 🌳🤝😊

And we discovered something pretty amazing… our elementary ESL teachers have approximately 1,000 YEARS of collective ESL teaching experience! 🤯👏

Just think about all the knowledge, expertise, and heart represented in that room! What a privilege to learn and grow together in support of our multilingual learners. ❤️

And thank you, River Oaks Community Church, for providing us with your beautiful space this year to connect and learn!

🌎💙Noche Latina at Mount Tabor High School 💙🌎

Mount Tabor High School hosted a wonderful Noche Latina on Wednesday in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month! 🎉

Families came together for an evening filled with connection, support, and community. Local community partners were there to provide valuable information and guidance to families, helping connect them with resources and opportunities.

A special thank you to Forsyth Tech for guiding conversations with families about the supports they need to feel more informed, involved, and active participants in their children’s education and schools.

And, of course, everyone enjoyed a delicious meal while building connections and celebrating together!

Thank you, Mount Tabor High School, for creating such a welcoming space for our multilingual families and community! Together, we can build stronger connections between families, schools, and our community. 💙

🇵🇭 Mabuhay @ 40! 🎉 Celebrating Filipino Culture, Heritage & Community 🇵🇭

What a wonderful weekend celebrating Filipino culture, traditions, friendship, and community! ❤️🇵🇭 Our district’s EPI Filipino Teachers hosted Mabuhay @ 40 – Celebrating Filipino Birthdays, Culture, and Heritage, a beautiful Filipino Teachers Cultural Show and birthday celebration honoring Mr. Augustine Ani from Mineral Springs Middle Visual & Performing Arts Magnet School as he celebrated his 40th birthday! 🎂🎉 Turning 40 is a very special milestone in Filipino tradition, and it was wonderful to see this important birthday celebrated with so much joy, laughter, music, dancing, friendship, and Filipino pride. 💃🎶❤️

Even more special was seeing so many members of the Winston-Salem community come together to celebrate - Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines, principals and assistant principals from the schools where our EPI Filipino teachers work, fellow teachers and colleagues, as well as friends and family from across the community.

Events like this remind us that culture brings people together. What a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the rich heritage of our Filipino educators while strengthening the connections that make our schools and community so special. 🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸

Mabuhay! 🎂🥳 And congratulations to our EPI Filipino Teachers for sharing your culture, talents, traditions, and joy with our community!
