Powerful analogy on #translanguaging by @nordmeyerj: our students can make meaning when they have access to one crayon (language) in the classroom, but think about the opportunities you open up when you allow them to use all their crayons (languages). @ECISMLIE #ECISMLIE19 pic.twitter.com/15JIMgUIy0
