Dr. Jose Medina provides professional development specifically for educators with ELLs and bilingual students. His research is heavily informed by his on experience as a bilingual student, whil also emphasizing translanguaging (the process of using both languages simultaneously). I have linked his TikTok profile. Dr. Medina's work is important to me because in the English language learning space, many educators shy away from using the L1 (native language) to inform the L2 (English, or the learned language). I beleive that using L1 ONLY benefits the student and in the end creates a true bilingual. This resource is not currently used in my school, but I beleive hearing the  experiences of former ELLs is essential to creating a student centered ELL program. https://www.tiktok.com/@josemedina1000?lang=en

Learning for Justice (fka Teaching Tolerance)

Learning for Justice is a non-profit whose goal is to create and promote anti-bias education in pursuit of the advancement of human rights for all people. They provide free resources  (whole lesson plans, articles, videos etc.) to augment curricula. I specifically want to highlight their framwork for social justice which centers social justice work in four distinct domains: Identity, Diversity, Justice, and Action. Through these domains educators can investigate their own practices and the practices of their schools to create a community that is more equitable. Recently, I've used their articles to talk abotu the racism against Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic. I think its an important resource because although many people can name racism, homophobia, xenophobia etc. many don't know how to combat it. Learning for Justice's comprehensive resources are perfect for the novice teacher or the veteran. https://www.learningforjustice.org/frameworks/social-justice-standards
