There are so many misconceptions about the bilingual/biliteracy journey. This infographic succinctly debunks some of the misinformation. Credit: (K. Ibáñez, 2016) #duallanguage #bilingual #bilingualism

English Learners/Multilingual Learners will struggle to make linguistic progress & academic if they are afforded language instruction in isolation only. The most effective instruction is deliberately INFUSED with language. There. I said it.

A reminder for those of us who serve in the world of #education. As Freire reminds: Education does not change the world. It changes people. People change the world. #DualLanguage #Equity #SocialJustice #Desmadre #EL #ESL #ELD #EAL #SocioculturalCompetence #CriticalConsciousness

One year ago today we received the tragic news of your accident Mrs. Lansdell 💕📚 My heart is still broken.

This touched my corazón! Students should be able to use their entire repertorio lingüístico in all educational settings!

The Fault in Our Stars has been removed from the YA section in the suburbs of Indianapolis and is now considered a "book for adults." This is ludicrous. It is about teenagers and I wrote it for teenagers. Teenagers are not harmed by reading TFIOS. This is such an embarrassment

John Green, Elizabeth Acevedo, and Nic Stone are among many NYT best selling authors who will now have their YA books removed from the teen section of the library and placed into the adult section in our community.

Fishers continues to make news for the wrong reason. One of my opponents for Fishers City Council At Large is on the library board voting for this. It’s costing taxpayers $300,000 to move books. That is not fiscally responsible in my “book”. (pun intended) wthr.com/article/news/l…

Please read our statement regarding the resignation of Dr. Yvonne Stokes. The city of FishersIN has been making frequent negative national news headlines recently & this will be another reason. We wish Dr. Stokes the best. indystar.com/story/news/loc… @IndyNAACP NAACP Indy SURJ

“I have fought this fight before. I did not think I would have to fight it again.” People need to pay attention to what is happening in FishersIN & w/ the HSE school board. History WILL repeat itself when people don’t pay attention and stand up. Let’s make this video go viral.

Join us for our annual Mock Caldecott event on Saturday, January 20 from 8AM-12PM. RSVP here: smore.com/ge2hc

Looking forward to this! 🤩

This is an appropriate issue to address. The new HSE superintendent and the school board should give a response. While it’s a given that “we” all want “continued” academic excellence for our school district, having diverse administrators and teachers help us maintain excellence.

I, too, learned about Ramadan as an adult. Let’s help kids feel seen and valued and also build empathy by sharing picture books that help us learn more about experiences different from our own. #culturallyInclusive #representation
