Being multilingual is a powerful asset that can connect students to their identity & culture while preparing them for the global workforce. Today the Biden-Harris Administration announced $11 million to support multilingualism in schools. ow.ly/Bs4750TegjY

#MedinaMondayMessage: When educators denounce #translanguaging practices, it is most often because they don’t fully understand what translanguaging is - and isn’t. All of us translanguage, whether monolingual or multilingual. So, what is the controversy about?

Spanglish is often described in the context of bilingualism. A dual ability. Two gifts. #BilingualismIsASuperpower washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
