This summer on the podcast we’re going to be taking a break from our normal content. This past year has been draining for everyone, especially teachers, and we wanted to do what we could to help educators take a breather. For the next several weeks we’ll be sharing samples from some of our audiobooks, and we hope that you’re able sit back, relax, and enjoy these read alouds.Today on the podcast, we have a sample from En Comunidad by Luz Yadira Herrera and Carla España. En Comunidad provides guidance on centering the voices and experiences of bilingual Latinx students. In narrating their own experiences as students and teachers, the authors open up the classroom for bilingual teachers to bring their full selves to their curriculum.In this preview, Luz and Carla introduce their book and explain why we need to bring translanguaging to the classroom. If you’d like to hear more, you can head over to our new audiobooks feed where you can browse our full catalogue and listen to more samples. Just search for Heinemann Audiobooks wherever you listen to podcasts. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
