En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students

Are you a teacher looking to create a more inclusive and empowering classroom environment for your bilingual Latinx students? Look no further! Introducing En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students. Written by Drs. Carla Espana and Luz Yadira Herrera, this groundbreaking book shines a spotlight on the power of educators to either uplift or marginalize their students.

En Comunidad is a must-have resource for any teacher looking to make a difference in the lives of bilingual Latinx students. Its culturally and linguistically sustaining lessons start by examining students' language practices, helping both children and teachers to reflect on their own beliefs about language. By centering students' voices and experiences, En Comunidad offers a pathway for storytelling, critical analysis of historical narratives, development of a social justice stance, and the use of poetry to create a strong and supportive community.

As the largest group of bilinguals in the U.S., bilingual Latinx students deserve more than just a seat in the classroom. They need advocates who will stand by their side, fight for their languages, and celebrate the complexity of their identities. En Comunidad provides classroom-ready lessons that celebrate the diverse stories and identities of Latinx children. Each lesson sequence follows a critical bilingual literacies framework, focusing on language, literacies, and power. The book also recommends carefully-curated texts and multimodal resources that amplify Latinx voices and experiences.
