Ep. 60: HQIM as Equity for English Learners with ELSF Executive Director Crystal Gonzales

We would love to hear from you! Send us a message (if you'd like a reply, email us at literacypodcast@greatminds.org)

Crystal Gonzales is the  Executive Director at English Learners Success Forum and believes that HQIM are the first step to provide equity for all learners, especially English Learners! Why? Because HQIM are developed with the idea that what's good for English Learners is good for all kids (but, the reverse is not always true!). 

We talk with Crystal about the impact of leveled reading on English Learners, and share excerpts from this resource: Do Leveled Readers Hurt or Help My ELs?  Crystal shares the impact of HQIM on English Learners through annotated lessons, such as these lessons from Wit & Wisdom ELA.
