Insights to the Curiosities & Struggles Posted by Educators of Multilingual Learners
Ever attend a PD session and not have your questions answered? Sometimes, we simply run out of time. So here's the first in a series of insights - answers to the questions that educators have asked during their workshops with me that we simply didn't have time to dive into. In this episode, I address two curiosities and a struggle from K-12 educators serving multilingual learners in a large urban district. If you've got a curiosity or struggle you'd like addressed, post it on Twitter and tag me @almitraberry #TheEquityClinic. I'll put it into the pool.

What to the School Child is this Fourth of July?
Every year on July 4, I review the words of Frederick Douglass and provide a remix of sorts focused on the status of our school children. Given the events of the last few months, this year was particularly disturbing. #UvaldeStrong

What's Next?
In the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, what is the impact and the implications for K-12 public schools? As politicians and one member of the high court call for the rescinding of other rights previously granted to public education and public school students, how is instruction, standards, funding, and discipline impacted? Plenty of food for thought in this episode.
