This episode culminates the "Sizzling Hot" series with an educator from Minnesota. Ashley Acosta, newly appointed Supervisor of DEI in the South Washington County Schools, tells us her journey to responsiveness from the perspective of a Mexican American who grew up in area where there were very few people who looked like her. Ashley also provides insight on the importance of being student-centered in all that we do in our cultural and linguistic responsiveness. Her journey entails multiple situations that remind us of who this work should be about - students first. As always, don't miss Dr. Hollie two cents. This time, a rant on a systemic hypocrisy.
