🌟 Big congratulations to my colleague Prof. Nick André and his amazing team on the launch of their new open-access Kreyòl textbook! 📚

Grateful beyond words to work with the incredible @profeaustin.bsky.social and @clemonsaris.bsky.social

Our study honors a Black Spanish teacher who, six years after her teacher ed, used abolitionist teaching + TBLT to create a classroom of joy, freedom, and brilliance.
so proud of this collaborative work! here's @melissabaralt.bsky.social @clemonsaris.bsky.social & my study on TBLT Spanish instruction with young learners. the possibilities for WL teaching are endless when Black cultural value is assumed❤️🖤💚
