Poesía en comunidad: Poetry as Teaching, Healing, and Resistance with Dr. Luz Yadira Herrera

 
My passion for bilingual instruction had its start with my experience in schools where the instruction isolated parts of my being, yet it grew exponentially the more I worked with bilingual students. As a bilingual sixth grade teacher in New York City, I listened to my students’ own bilingual journeys.
