I had the pleasure of hosting a Latinos in Action youth leadership workshop at my alma mater, FAU! I graduated 20 years ago from the college of education and here I am empowering and encouraging our Latino youth to keep reaching for the stars!

It’s possible that one of my favorite sections of our new book Welcome to Teaching Multilingual Learners is protecting their rights. ⚖️
