In this special lead-up to the 200th episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast, host Beth Vaucher dives into one of the most requested and transformational topics for educators of multilingual learners—how to build practical, effective routines to strengthen all four language domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

She shares research-backed insights that explain why active listening is the foundation for language acquisition, and why pre-listening strategies can dramatically improve comprehension. She then reveals a simple yet powerful speaking routine using picture prompts that not only promotes daily oral language practice but builds vocabulary and confidence in a safe, engaging environment.When it comes to reading, Beth emphasizes the need to front-load vocabulary—especially Tier 2 words—and gives clear guidance on how to select which words to pre-teach for maximum impact. Writing doesn't get left behind—she introduces the fun and collaborative “Strengthen a Sentence” routine that makes writing less intimidating and more interactive for ELL students at all levels.The episode wraps up with a practical walkthrough of how to integrate all four language domains into one cohesive lesson using a single anchor text. From read-alouds to conversation cards to scaffolded writing prompts, Beth outlines a plug-and-play structure that ensures your lessons are both academically rich and language supportive.Listeners are also invited to celebrate the podcast's 200th episode with a special giveaway—weekly $20 Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards and a $200 Amazon grand prize.

Are your ELL students falling behind—even when you're doing everything you can to support them?Welcome back to the Equipping ELLs Podcast! In this insightful episode, host Beth Vaucher breaks down the six most common mistakes educators make when working with English Language Learners (ELLs)—and, more importantly, how to avoid them. As the school year begins, this is the perfect time for reflection and adjustment. Whether you're a seasoned ESL teacher or new to supporting multilingual learners, this episode provides practical, actionable advice to transform your teaching mindset and classroom practices.Beth emphasizes that intention, not perfection, is key to successful ELL instruction. She unpacks the dangers of waiting too long to involve ELLs in meaningful classroom work, explaining why full participation from day one matters. Listeners will gain strategies for scaffolding content, using visuals, and engaging newcomers without isolating them.Another crucial point discussed is the "silent period"—a misunderstood phase where students are actively learning despite not speaking. Beth offers reassurance and practical tools to support these learners without forcing premature speaking. The episode also dives into the importance of understanding language levels and how misinterpretation can lead to either too much or too little support.Beth addresses the reality many teachers face: trying to figure it all out alone. She underscores the power of community and collaboration and shares resources like the Equipping ELLs membership and active online communities. Another major misconception? Treating all ELLs as a homogenous group. Beth urges educators to go beyond labels and use student profiles to plan more purposefully.Finally, she reframes language development as a whole-school responsibility, reminding us that every teacher is a language teacher—regardless of subject. This episode is full of encouragement, real talk, and empowering tools for teachers who want to help their ELLs not just survive, but thrive.Don't miss Beth's call to action to join the Equipping ELLs membership, now offering 20% off with the code EQUIP20.

En conversación con El Líbero, el exministro hace un análisis de los conflictos internacionales, como la disputa entre EE.UU y Venezuela. También, se refiere a la carrera presidencial en Chile.

¿Por qué?Porque muchas veces, los líderes no se atreven a pedir lo suficiente a sus equipos.Algunos piensan:“Ya tienen mucho trabajo.”“No sé si van a ser capaces.”“Mejor lo hago yo mismo.”Pero es miedo a exigir y a delegar correctamente es una de las principales razones porlas que los equipos no alcanzan todo su potencial.

Buenos días. La postura que el Gobierno está tomando con el Banco Central se torna cada vez más insólita. El cuestionar instituciones independientes y respetadas transversalmente deja en una compleja situación al Presidente Boric y a su equipo económico. “Es algo que están haciendo también otros presidentes en otras partes. Le hace mal a la democracia. La democracia funciona cuando tenemos instituciones sólidas. Creo que habíamos aprendido esa lección en Chile, pero no me sorprende que esté pasando”, señala el analista Patricio Navia en El Líbero. El último episodio de esta polémica -que comenzó con la “discrepancia” del Mandatario con el BC, que afirmó que el aumento del salario mínimo y la jornada laboral de 40 horas había incidido en el desempleo- son los dichos del ministro del Trabajo, Giorgio Boccardo: “Nuestros técnicos tanto de Hacienda como de Trabajo se han comunicado con el Central, nos interesa aclarar ciertas dudas que se han planteado”. En el ámbito político es el partido Demócratas el complicado con la resolución del Tricel que impide la postulación a un tercer período de Ximena Rincón en el Senado. Esto no sólo afectará a la senadora sino a la oposición en el Maule, donde podría salir beneficiada la presidenta del PS, Paulina Vodanovic, que va también por un cupo en la zona.

El tercer ‘ai!' va dirigit a aquells que construeixen en base a la violència. A la ciutat dels homes s'acaba amb la vida d'altres per fer-se un nom. Però Déu pren nota de cada injustícia, i intervindrà per fer fracassar els que obren així. Jesús va venir al món per vessar la seva pròpia sang perquè tothom que creu en Ell pugui entrar a la ciutat definitiva: la Jerusalem celestial, l'única ciutat en la que no hi haurà violència ni dolor.Ciutat Nova és una església per a la ciutat de Barcelona i una comunitat de persones normals i imperfectes que volem aprendre a viure segons la voluntat de Déu.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the paperwork that comes with assessing and tracking your English learners? You're not alone. Many ELL teachers ask the same questions: How do I assess my students without drowning in forms? How do I keep track of their growth in a way that's meaningful and sustainable?In this episode of the Equipping ELLs Podcast, Beth breaks down the three essential tracking systems every ELL teacher needs to stay organized and support student success—all without adding extra stress to your workload. She shares simple, practical tools you can start using right away to monitor growth, set goals, and clearly show progress to students, parents, and administrators.You'll learn how to:Use quarterly progress monitoring for consistent snapshots of student growth.Implement generic rubrics that work across assignments and grade levels, making it easier to measure language development and communicate goals.Build language portfolios that tell the powerful story of each student's growth through their own work samples.Beth also explains where WIDA standards fit into all of this—helping you move from “Where are my students now?” to “Where should they go next?” She walks through her FAST framework to simplify lesson planning with WIDA.Ready to put this into action?

Douglas Ell joins Rodney Olsen on Bleeding Daylight to share his remarkable journey from committed atheism to evidence-based faith. With degrees in mathematics and physics from MIT and a successful legal career, Ell brings scientific rigor to one of humanity's biggest questions: Does the evidence point to God?   In this fascinating conversation, Ell reveals how examining DNA as digital code, understanding the fine-tuning of universal constants, and grappling with the origin of matter itself led him to conclude that science overwhelmingly supports the existence of a divine creator. He discusses his books "Counting to God" and "Proofs of God" sharing how he hopes to help others who struggle with the perceived conflict between science and faith. This episode offers compelling evidence that may change how you see the relationship between scientific discovery and spiritual belief.   WEBLINKS Counting to God Website

Send us a textThe most dangerous myth of our modern age is this notion that science is somehow contrary to God.  That faith and science cannot coexist. It has lured billions into a life without meaning and without true joy. Author Doug Ell should know... he was one of them.  In our time, the pursuit of scientific and philosophical knowledge has largely been the domain of narrowly focused professionals and academics. Ell's work represents a return to the more open-minded, broad thinking of the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution, when intelligent people of diverse backgrounds exchanged information not to further professional careers, but as part of a collective effort to advance science and reason.  This is a fascinating deep dive where science and faith finally meet.

The Ruckus Report Quick take: The biggest legal risk most districts face isn't a headline-grabbing lawsuit — it's the hidden gap between the accommodations they promise and the ones students actually receive.
