We appreciate everyone who joined and peacefully exercised their constitutional rights in the city yesterday. We are one community. Solidarity matters.
Before entering education, I worked as a paralegal studying for a career in immigration and criminal law. Community has always guided my work.

This is an excellent example of applying principles from the science of learning to SPANISH language instruction. As a reminder, all language is taught in the context of content.

Teachers are expected to use evidence-based approaches & strategies yet no one has ever trained us how to interpret research!
Huge thanks to @rastokke.bsky.social who shared this 1-page “red flags for education research” for teachers and the literacy coaches and consultants who tell us what to do!

Dr. Timothy Shanahan establishes that effective reading comprehension instruction must focus on building students’ language knowledge at the word, sentence, and text levels using content-rich texts.

This lends to the conversation that we must teach how language works within context while teaching the students the content knowledge within knowledge-rich, complex texts.
