Yes! Within the Mexican context where I work with Mayan teachers they describe having to create their own curriculum that often lives within a box in their classrooms or in random fb groups where teachers share what they've created. #literacies

Hardcore academia. Work, friends, social media, are all academia/academia adjacent. Though one teen is on Reddit, so I learn memes from him. I read romance, which has its own lang of tropes. And the language of San Antonio is its own. #literacies

Thank you so much for sharing. As we are looking at (finally) building dual language programs in Arkansas, I will ensure to voice this reality as often as I can. #literacies

I wonder, what linguistic knowledge and literacies are we missing when we advocacy for English-Spanish bilingual education? In fighting for Spanish to be valued in the U.S. are we missing the opportunity to grapple with it's historical and contemporary colonial imprints? #literacies

Some students come to the classroom knowing 2-3 languages and admit to not being able to speak some of their Indigenous languages anymore because they are not a part of their daily learning. #literacies

Can you say more about the impact of Bluesky? #literacies

However, in my work with multilingual Latinx youth who come from Indigenous homes and communities, I have learned that despite having amazing Latinx teachers who value bilingualism, these young people's multilingualism is often overlooked or simplified into the Spanish-English dichotomy. #literacies

A5: In my work in education, I have seen how Latinx educators, activists, and allies have worked tirelessly to advocate for bilingual education so that Latinx children can get the support they need in their home and community language as well as maintain their bilingualism. #literacies

A5: ...leverage Marshallese as much as possible; using and creating any resources I could get my hands on (or that students could create) to ensure Marshallese was represented just as much... The manuscript is in the works, so stay tuned (lol!) (2/2) #literacies

A5: This became a HUGE consideration while working with @faythebeauch.bsky.social in my own second-grade #literacies classroom. As a teacher, the best thing for me was to notice the lack of Marshallese resources and language embedded opportunities in order to... (1/2)

A5: I wonder how an orientation toward the future might help through the discomfort named in the question. If we see our uncertainties as a starting point for disrupting language hierarchies, I think we can open speculative possibilities for a more expansive path forward. #literacies

I feel you on this! My pre-service teachers talk about feeling the weight even before entering the classroom #literacies

A4: One example I see is not acknowledging their existence altogether or speaking of indigenous languages as something of the past. #literacies

#Literacies

GenAI writing feels soulless? Stripped of voice. You know what I mean? #literacies

Q5: Because Indigenous languages are overlooked, we often miss the opportunity to have uncomfortable conversations about Spanish as a colonial language. How might we lean into this discomfort to disrupt linguistic hierarchies reproduced in classrooms, communities, and beyond? #literacies

Yes! So many children's educational trajectories are marked by home language surveys. #literacies

I truly appreciate this BOTH/AND. #literacies
