  • Assessment
• Four video guides for practitioners, serving as a companion resource for the following selected videos found on the website:

  • Justice, Courage, and Fairness
  • Weathering and Erosion
• Updates to the Building Educators’ Capacity instructional topic area page which includes new evidence-based strategies and resources.
• 34 new resources from our partners at SEAL (Sobrato Early Academic Language)—helping us reach over 425 new resources across the 11 instructional topic areas!

Help us spread the word!

• Promotional toolkit: We have put together a toolkit with suggested social media posts and graphics for your use in your own communication channels.
• Follow the #MLToolkit hashtag: Retweet or re-post the announcements on social media.
