RODRIGUEZ AND TEACHING BILINGUALS (CONNECTIONS)

Image
After reading Aria by Richard Rodriguez and watching the videos Teaching Bilinguals, both describe the reality, success, and experiences of people who speak different languages. Rodriguez explains that during his educational journey, the difficulties and hardships he was faced in school due to the language barrier affected his ability to always be successful. Rodriguez struggled with learning every aspect of a new language in an educational sense and a social sense. Suddenly the way people (like his teacher for example) addressed him was only by his name in English, and not his Spanish name. While learning the English language in his school life, he was still at home speaking in his native language with his family. This created confusion and often feelings of being overwhelmed and anxious, which for someone new and still learning must feel awful. Reading about his experience left me feeling like our education system failed him and as a future educator I will take steps to making sure ...

Hehir (Extending Comments)

 I am extending comments off of both Megan and Annas post! Both of your posts were so interesting and really well put together. I was able to connect with you and it was as if I was there in person with you, while I was reading along. Not only that, both of your posts clearly explain where you stand and it was easy to comprehend. So well done! 😊 Megan, Just like Anna said, Hehir was a lengthy read and so I found it extremely helpful that you put so much detail and included a clear overall view on its content (while including your own thoughts).

Ginwright (Quote)

A quote in this article that stuck out to me was "Everyone wants to be happy, not just have less misery." My goal in life is to lead with love and to be happy. A quote like this resonates with me because isn't it what we all want? To have a life where at the end of the day we are happy we get to live it? The article is so important when speaking about mental health and creating discussions on how to be a part of the future of healing. One thing I know is that everyone experiences hardships and everyone struggles with infinite amount of obstacles throughout their lifetime. However, it is how we move forward and how we heal that will make all the difference in the world. It won't be easy, it never is but giving our future generations and youth the ability to live life and experience it with open hearts and leading with love is what will make the world a better place. I believe in it and I have hope.  With that lead with the 5 C's of Healing Centered Engagement: Comp...
