My WHY to teaching in a bilingual classroom is to help students keep their Spanish while learning English. At the end... being bilingual will open more doors for our students. Another reason as to why is because it is important to embrace our culture.

My why is because I see so much potential in students that they don't always see in themselves. I work with an entire campus - Pre-K through 5th, and I come to work every day because I know that the many, many small moments when I can connect with students will build up their confidence.

It is very important for our district leaders to know our why. Many district leaders are not as familiar with bilingual education, and don't have it at the forefront of their mind as much as we do every day. Being able to share what we are doing and WHY we are doing it - at board meetings, at district-wide tranings, etc.

My why is that I believe that Bilingual Education/Dual Language Education is a Civil Right. We should provide, and never deny eduction to any student, not matter where they come from. Students culture and identify is and must be valued and I believe that is something important we do in DL. Another reason is because being bilingual provides great neurological benefits and that would impact the future of our bilingual students.

My why is to give the students the opportunity to value who they are and be proud of it. To create a community of inclusion for all. To pass the baton to younger generations, so they can continue learning from others and sharing their wealth.

I'm able to reach students and teachers to promote Dual Language. I learn from them and share their wealth. I see that there are more Spanish resources and research that states that knowing more than one language is beneficial.
