I am a Language/Literacy Specialist with 44 years of teaching experience. I started my teaching career as a Bilingual teacher, Spanish teacher, and ESL teacher
@TeachMrReed Thank you Dwayne Reed for your truth. I am going on my 44th year of teaching, and I feel exactly the same way about myself. I am exactly where I am supposed to be building strong relationships with Multilingual learners, their families, and advocating for all kids.
