URGENT!! Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) is "being abolished with all positions". Please reach out to your congressional delegation to make them aware of this.

#MedinaMondayMessage: As the U.S. government intensifies its attack on immigrant communities, we continue the fight for linguistic liberation. Students from culturally and linguistically diverse homes are a gift and deserve our continued advocacy. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽#duallanguage #C6BiliteracyFramework #bilingual #multilingual

Years ago it was common to water down instruction for Multilingual Learners. Now we know how important it is to amplify the language by turning up the listening, speaking, reading, and writing that students do using the grade level standards and academic vocabulary.

Amidst the horrific rhetoric demonizing our Haitian neighbors, we're highlighting stories that celebrate, uplift, & honor Haitian history, culture & community. This list from @sociajusticebk includes excellent titles for early, middle grade & YA readers.

Reading aloud to students in Spanish not only improves listening comprehension and fluency, but also strengthens cultural connection and boosts confidence in learning both languages. #Bilingualism #InclusiveEducation #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

There are only 50 days left until Election Day. And there's too much at stake to sit this one out.

So get involved in any way you can. Knock on doors or make phone calls for the Harris-Walz campaign. Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about why it’s important to vote in this election. And make sure you’re registered and ready to vote by going to https://t.co/6XrsHLEGkF.

Because if we work like we’ve never worked before, we will elect @KamalaHarris as our next President and @Tim_Walz as our next Vice President. And together, we will build a better future.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Don't wait – check your state's voter registration deadline today and make sure you're registered and ready to vote. And then share this with your friends and family so everyone's ready to vote early or by Election Day. https://t.co/jKW0RyeBXC

Substance over bluster.

Optimism over negativity.

And yes, a new generation over the same, old, tired show.

She crushed it tonight.
