Denise,

I agree that there is definitely a growing need to have an inviting classroom where students feel welcomed and safe. We all know that not everyone learns the same way. Your idea of implementing more verbal communication in the classroom goes hand in hand with VTS. I feel it is extremely important for students, especially ELL students, to practice their speaking and listening skills. Once they have practice, they can use that in other subjects like literacy and math (like you mentioned).
