I'm pumped to head to Sherman Independent School District for the next three days to IGNITE Bilingual Education, marrying curriculum resources with great pedagogy in classrooms with Emergent Bilingual Students! What do you think every bilingual teacher needs to hear this year?

How will you support your bilingual and dual language initiatives this school year? More teachers are entering the profession without having studied education.

Investing in teachers is less expensive than replacing them.
