She epitomized what it meant to be an educator who always challenged the status quo of instructional practices. She never shied away from asking the tough questions, regardless of who was in the room. I remember observing her for her final evaluation before she went on maternity leave years ago. She sang the cutest transition song, and in that moment, I fell in friend-love with this lovely Latina. Her dedication to improving student outcomes was unparalleled, but often, the chaos and directives of the system kept her from truly shining as the queen she is. Fast forward (imagine the sound effect in your head). One day, we were deep in conversation about literacy—who knows what exactly—and I mentioned the Lucy Project. I had recently learned about the incredible work they do and suggested she sign up for their program. To make a long story short, she did! Now, she’s able to do what’s best for students, using instructionally sound, evidence-based literacy practices in an environment that lets her sit in her greatness. Her post makes my heart smile. 💖 #untilallkidscanread Sandra Bermudez

You can’t be what you can’t see. Unfortunately, many Latino students go through their entire K-12 education without seeing a teacher who looks like them or understands their cultural background. That’s why we must push forward efforts to diversify the teaching workforce. Our Latino Action Agenda outlines practical policy solutions to close the representation gap between teachers and students. Learn more by downloading the full agenda today: https://lnkd.in/eVZF_vW7
