#73 - Centering Bilingual Latinx Students w/ Drs. Carla España & Luz Yadira Herrera
Bilingual dopeness in the building! After years of attacks and bans on bilingual education, so-called “dual language immersion” programs have become a hot ticket. How can we ensure that language minoritized children get access to quality bilingual education, and what should such education look like? This week we’re joined by Dr. Carla España and Dr. Luz Yadira Herrera, co-founders of the En Comunidad Collective and co-authors of “En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students.” They help us explore the past, present, and future of bilingual education. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including the debate about whether districts should offer virtual schooling as an option this fall and renewed concerns over corporal punishment after a ridonculous video emerges showing a principal hitting a young student.
