Latina Teachers Recap

From October 15th - October 26th, I had the honor and pleasure to lead a Twitter book study through #ELLchat_bkclub.  If you participated - Thank you! - If you did not, I recommend you take some time and review our conversations on very important topics that are highlighted in Latina Teachers by Dr. Glenda Flores. Some of the topic we discussed are: 

• Latino students' background and laws in the USA related to English language learners.
• Cultural Guardians - a phrase used all throughout the book to highlight Latina Teachers' advocacy for Latino Students.
• Latin Families and myths on engagement in children's education.
• Culture and race 

​I was very excited to see several participants engaging in conversation and sharing fantastic perspectives that served us all to better serve our English language learners. 

LIVE Book Chat 

We were so fortunate to be able to have Dr. Flores join our #ELLchat_bkclub 21.0 LIVE book chat on October 23rd. The conversation was streamed live and was also recorded for participants to enjoy when they could. 
I LOVED hearing Dr. Flores and loved how she answered all of our questions.   

I created a Wakelet that includes all 6 weeks of Tweets related to Latina Teachers book. If you feel like you'd like to respond to any of these tweets, please do so. Topic discussed throughout the chat are definitely topics we need to keep discussing. 

If you have any questions of comments about anything you read after going through our archived conversation, please leave a comment below. I'd love to continue the conversation on Latina Teachers. 

Thank you so much for reading!
