S10/E6: Tasting history: How sharing a recipe can connect cultures featuring 3 students from Lowell High School

from Highest Aspirations · host Ellevation Education

Welcome back to a special episode of Highest Aspirations. Our guests this week are 3 students from Lowell High School in Massachusetts. I was introduced to them through our friend Jessica Lander, who has appeared on the podcast and facilitated an inspiring session at our annual IMPACT conference last year. She also happens to be the teacher of our three guests, Lucas, Ana Sofia, and Kasi - all of whom are students at Lowell High School who came to the US in the last 5 years. You’ll hear elements of their testimonios as they share their immigration stories, their experience contributing to and sharing a class recipe book called “Tasting History” with their classmates and beyond, and some recommendations for any teachers listening on how to help their MLL students be more successful in their schools and communities. You can find more information about Tasting History and much more on Jessica’s website: jessicalander.com. Thanks for listening to Highest Aspirations and please enjoy this conversation with some amazing students and their contributions to their school and community. Link to episode transcript download.
