🔺Transadaptation vs translation🔻

Important distinction for bilingual education and dual language educators.

The notion that parents don't care is cruel, racist, and adds to a deficit perspective, especially of students of color, immigrant, and refugee populations. Families leave everything and everyone behind for the chance of a better future for their children chalkbeat.org/colorado/2024/…

Today we had an amazing opportunity to buddy read in Mrs. Zapata’s class to celebrate Read Across CAS!
