TNTP Blog Reclaiming Language, Culture, Identity, and Education

By Daniel Pastrana At TNTP, we are committed to ensuring that multilingual learners have the linguistic supports they need to access grade-level appropriate, engaging, and culturally sustaining academic experiences. During Multilingual Learner Advocacy Month, we are honored to share the personal perspectives of former multilingual learners on opportunities and challenges from the field. In this blog, Daniel Pastrana, Senior Manager of Academics & Multilingual Learners at TNTP shares a reflection of how his journey to reclaim his language and cultural identity shaped his commitment to breaking down barriers and expanding opportunities for the next generation of emergent bilingual students and multilingual learners. We invite you to join TNTP for a panel discussion on Expanding and Implementing Dual Language programs on April 20 at 6 p.m. ET. Register for the panel here. View the article on tntp.org »
