Why Educators Love It
"Confianza's tools are so helpful!"
— shannon kane, adjustment counselor
"This learning has helped me to realize just how important it is to understand that when working with students because they may not necessarily know what we mean if we don't explain it. I will be much more thoughtful about the language I use."
The Language Lens® Guidebook is Included in the Playbook for Easy Access and Big Impact.
The Language Lens™ is a transformative framework designed to help leaders and educators build thriving classrooms by fostering growth in both adults and students. Created through over two decades of field experience with tens of thousands of educators by Sarah B. Ottow, it equips educators to strengthen their own skills and confidence while meeting every student’s language and literacy needs. Rooted in research and practical strategies, the Language Lens™ supports leaders in guiding their teams to integrate language learning into all aspects of teaching, creating meaningful, lasting change at every level in today’s classrooms.
— julia Jeffers, EL Coordinator
"When I'm working with a teacher, I can open up The Language Lens and easily find a tool, explanation, or diagram that applies to almost any situation or concern brought to my attention. This is what I need from professional development!"
— Alex Naumann, Principal
