Despite your best efforts so all your students and their families are connected and thriving in your classroom, sometimes you miss the mark, and they feel isolated by their own languages and cultures.
Your Words Are Fire presents 10 teaching strategies that help you build the bridge between the language your students are using and the language they need for academic success, while still supporting their cultural and linguistic identity.
- Learn how language and culture are connected
- Discover the role language plays in your classroom successes and potential barriers
- Change how you listen to your students (hint: it’s with more than your ears)
- Plan explicitly around the linguistic and cultural needs of your students
- Expand vocabulary work in your classroom so you all grow and learn
Break beyond the status quo that leaves you searching for better ways to connect with your students and the languages and cultures they bring into your classroom. Empower them as they work hard to learn and succeed and teach everyone in your class the value of new cultures, dialects and ways to communicate.
Your Words Are Fire is a reminder that language, throughout the annals of history, has made an impact on every generation and leaves an indelible mark. Your classroom is no different. The words exchanged between you and your students and families are paramount to the success of our future generations.
Engage in Lissette Jacobson and Maurice McDavid’s work, and you’ll find your words – and those of every student – blazing a new trail to learning.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
