Welcome to Teach-Learn-Reflect-Repeat! I am Christi Gilbert, a National Board Certified Teacher in the area of English as a New Language (woot woot!), and I have been working with English learners since 2003, both here and abroad.
Currently, I am a county-wide early literacy coach. I have the privilege of working with some amazing teachers K-5. I teach them some things about these amazing Essential Practices, and they teach me some things about their teaching and their students.
In my "former life" (aka: all of my career except this past school year) I was an EL specialist, and spent most of my time co-teaching in content areas such as math. I helped my students develop language skills in the content areas, and supported classroom teachers in their practice with ELs.
I also spent quite a few years pouring a lot of time and energy into this awesome ZONES Math project. ZONES Math is a math workshop framework I created with some teacher friends, and it has been wonderful for integrating literacy, and supports ELs! Make sure to check it out!!
I also enjoy time with my three kiddos and my landscaping husband.
This site is intended to share plans I have created, share resources I find, reflect on lessons, and learn from YOU!
Feel free to take a look around, and contact me either by leaving a comment or by email.
