99-If the Statue of Liberty were a teacher...how would she handle kids who struggle with English...Starring Diann Espinoza

America is changing. According to Pew, by 2050 the US will be 29% Hispanic. If you don't have kids in your class who struggle with English, you will in the future. If you have students that struggle, expect a lot more. I've spoken to colleagues who've experienced such students. Many of these educators expressed frustration. They lack training and resources. In prepping for this episode, I concluded that teachers need to strive to be like the Statue of Liberty...SAY WHAT!?!“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore,” she wrote. “Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”The golden door is an education! Embrace these youngsters. Think how stressful it is for them to not feel free to express themselves.In this episode, I interview a bilingual champion by the name of Diann Espinoza.
