From October 15th - October 26th, I had the honor and pleasure to lead a Twitter book study through #ELLchat_bkclub.  If you participated - Thank you! - If you did not, I recommend you take some time and review our conversations on very important topics that are highlighted in Latina Teachers by Dr. Glenda Flores. Some of the topic we discussed are: 
  • Latino students' background and laws in the USA related to English language learners.
  • Cultural Guardians - a phrase used all throughout the book to highlight Latina Teachers' advocacy for Latino Students.
  • Latin Families and myths on engagement in children's education.
  • Culture and race 
​I was very excited to see several participants engaging in conversation and sharing fantastic perspectives that served us all to better serve our English language learners. 

LIVE Book Chat 

We were so fortunate to be able to have Dr. Flores join our #ELLchat_bkclub 21.0 LIVE book chat on October 23rd. The conversation was streamed live and was also recorded for participants to enjoy when they could. 
I LOVED hearing Dr. Flores and loved how she answered all of our questions.

Renowned speaker shares inspirational story with Hicksville students click here! 
Over a year ago, Lisa Estrada, author and Supervisor of the English as a New Language (ENL) and World Languages  department in Hicksville Public Schools in New York, invited me to visit her schools. The dates she considered never coordinated with the dates I had available. Until...we finally agreed on October 7th, 2019. 
The ENL department had organized a Hispanic Heritage celebration with several events throughout Hispanic Heritage Month and at different schools throughout the county. Lisa's idea was to bring in a guest speaker who would inspire Latino students to embrace and appreciate their heritage as well as be encouraged to be successful in school. 
I don't think I can explain the excitement and the honor I felt when I received Lisa's invitation to be the guest speaker they needed for this event. I have done several keynotes and presentations all through the country, but a keynote presentation for students was going to be my first ever!! Without a doubt, I accepted the invitation and started planning my visit to Hicksville Public School.
