Let’s Talk Language, Identity, and Unity with Drs. Carla & Luz



“Teaching is not a neutral act. Our words, our actions, and even our silence on issues that matter to our students and families reveal our beliefs about humanity and teaching” (España & Herrera 2020). In this episode, Drs. Carla España, Luz Herrera, and I discuss the importance of Language, Identity, and Unity in each and every classroom. In addition, they share some great strategies from their book, “En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students”. This conversation is filled with tools, tips, and stories of how to be inclusive in your everyday practices and routines.

State of Literacy with Kass and Cornelius Minor (Part 2)



Part 2! I continue my amazing conversation with Kassandra & Cornelius Minor of the Minor Collective. We had a candid conversation about the state of literacy. With all of the mandates, expectations, and parameters placed around the classroom, this conversation gives life and hope back to educators. This isn’t new and in this conversation, we discuss ways that you can take action to move literacy instruction in the right direction. Get your pen and paper ready as we laugh, reminisce, and share meaningful ways to center students in our decision!
