We support each other

with scaffolds.

All students come with

funds of knowledge
from their communities.

All languages
are valuable.
There are many
forms of
communication.

Language Manifesto
In this classroom...
1. We value all languages, including those spoken by our peers in the classroom.
2. We accept all forms of communication, verbal, written, and otherwise.
3. We recognize that we all come to our classroom with knowledge and valuable experiences.
4. We recognize that we all come from communities that have provided us experiences and
knowledge.
5. We accept and support each other unconditionally, regardless of the language we speak
and where we come from. Emily Kurtin
