It is a must-read for every educator because:

  • It goes beyond lesson plans — and talks about human connection first.

  • It presents simple but impactful actions — like learning to pronounce names correctly — can build trust and belonging from day one.

  •  It shows how honoring students’ languages and cultures isn’t just nice — it boosts learning.

  • You’ll find practical ideas for classroom culture, family engagement, and meaningful collaboration that support both language development and academic success.
