If supporting your multilingual learners feels like piecing it together alone — this 30 minutes is for you. ☕

On Wednesday, Beth Vaucher (our founder!) is walking through exactly how Equipping ELLs works for schools: the curriculum your teachers would use, the system behind it, the support that comes with it. And then she's answering YOUR questions live — curriculum, funding, PD, your school's specific situation, all of it.

📅 Wednesday, Aug 19 • 🕐 1:00 PM ET • 100% free

Perfect for admins, EL leaders, coordinators — or any teacher who wants to bring the idea to their school (we'll give you everything you need to make the case!).

✏️ Struggling to fit all 4 language domains into your lesson plans?
It doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. This episode will show you how! 💡

In this week’s Equipping ELLs episode, Beth breaks down practical, low-prep routines you can start using tomorrow to support your students in:

👂 Listening – Build active listeners with simple pre-listening strategies
🗣 Speaking – Boost confidence with picture-based daily warm-ups
📖 Reading – Front-load vocab to maximize comprehension
✍️ Writing – Try the “Strengthen A Sentence” routine to promote expression and collaboration

Why routines? Because they lower the affective filter, increase engagement, and make language development feel doable—for students and for YOU.

🎧 Tune in to hear the full breakdown!
📩 DM me EP94 and I’ll send the link your way.

You can teach all four domains—without burning out. 💛
