Thirty years ago, on this day, legendary visionary and labor organizer Cesar Chavez passed away at the age of 66. To this day, Chavez is stirring knowledge, pride, and fearlessness in our multiracial struggle for a just world.

For so long, I thought my duty as an educator was to “save” students and families. I am working hard to move way from this savior ideology. Instead, I have embraced desmadre in the name of equidad and social justice. ✊🏽

While the original graphic was designed several years ago, I finally finished updating this infographic: The ABCs of #Teaching #Multilingual Learners. This certainly does not encompass everything but includes some of the essentials. #ESL #bilingual #ELLchat #MLLchat #Teacher

The first thing we can do to create a welcoming environment for students is to pronounce their names correctly and not asking them to change their names because it is difficult for us to pronounce. @ValentinaESL

Beautiful story about an Atlanta teacher going above & beyond to support her #refugee students, via @The74. the74million.org/article/ref…

Living and Learning Among Refugees in the ‘Ellis Island of the South’

It’s amazing how so many people want to see public schools improved but don’t value the voices of teachers and students in reimagining education. And sadly, schools are still struggling b/c everyone isn’t at the table. #ProfessorJBA #teacher #PGeducator #equity #school ✏️🍎📚
