August 2026
Advocacy doesn’t just happen at the national level, it starts in your classroom, in your building, and in your district. Fall begins with many opportunities to celebrate your languages and advocate for your programs. From back to school displays to holidays, there are ways to entice students to join your classes! I want to encourage you to take student work to the hallways or let students create an informational campaign focused on an aspect of the target culture (food, music, places, etc) to help the other students in your building see what makes your class special. See below for some ways to celebrate soon.
Hispanic Heritage Month: September 15-October 15
