Alright, now that everyone knows, I have a question. If I want to teach a baby Spanish by conversing with them in Spanish, but I'm not fluent, will that do more harm than good?

...gonna tag this one for visibility

Think🤔 Does the environment, lesson, classroom foster assimilation or acculturation?

Let’s step far away from the melting pot idea.

Embrace individuality, language, self-identity & preserve culture.

An important reminder from Espinosa & Ascenzi-Moreno. “Relying solely on the new language limits their [students’] ability to participate.”

True in bilingual & in programs. In all classrooms.
