11 - Instruction & Assessment

I agree with your response and it's really impressive how you were able to connect this week's readings to the things we previously. I believe that multimodality in learning can benefit not just emergent bilinguals and special education students, but all students as many students have preferred styles of learning. For example, I often have a hard time visualizing words, so I prefer visual and more auditory style of learning. I also agree that education should place more value in parental involvement and accommodating their specific needs like language and scheduling. This reminds me of how Chinese language schools became middle places for Chinese immigrant parents to learn more about the US education system. While this is helpful, it shouldn't be necessary for these parents to find an outside source of information.
