National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we pay particular attention to the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group's rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It's also an ideal time for us to restate our commitment to providing safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration or any other status. Students who identify as Hispanic or of Latino heritage comprise 41 percent of our population in HSD, which is the largest of any demographic group. We believe our multilingual community brings a tapestry of linguistic and cultural assets and are proud to serve these students through a variety of programs - some of which serve them specifically, others of which are accessible to students of all backgrounds. Our PK-12 Dual Language programs serve more than 3,500 students who learn in both Spanish and English, and expand their socio-cultural competence. We have a thriving Latino Parent Advisory Council at the district level, and several “paquitos” at the school level to help ensure our Spanish-speaking families can receive information and provide feedback in meaningful ways, and help our district and schools with events and programming that celebrates their cultures and customs. Our schools will be sharing relevant information with students about events, people, and customs connected to Hispanic and Latino Heritage over the course of the next several weeks. The City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural are also hosting a wide range of events, including the El Grito Festival, Binational Health Fair, and more. And save the date of Thursday, October 2, for HSD's Hispanic Heritage event featuring activities, entertainment, food, and community.Our featured event was the kick-off to the 2025-26 school year, which officially began on Wednesday and Thursday, September 3 and 4. Students and staff alike were excited to get back to class and embark upon a new year of learning, growth, and memories in the making.

HSD began its Spanish-English Dual Language program in the 2002-03 school year to engage and support the increasingly diverse community we were serving and continue to serve. In HSD's Dual Language program (also referred to as two-way immersion), students learn content in Spanish and English simultaneously. Cultures are explored while students work and learn together, preparing them for a successful future in the multicultural world in which we live.Today, we have more than 3,600 PK-12 students participating in Dual Language Programs across our district. These are in place at eight elementary schools and to varying degrees at each of our middle and high schools. The programs at South Meadows Middle School and Hilhi are considered “robust” programs, with two or three of the four core classes offered in Spanish at each grade level. Our other middle and high schools offer one or two core classes in Spanish - one of them being Spanish Language Arts. This way, students are able to maintain and grow their biliteracy skills within their own communities. Read more on our website at: www.hsd.k12.or.us

Joining us for this episode of the podcast is Dr. Vindia Fernandez, who has been on the show before back in episode 3. Dr. Fernandez earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Houston and completed her APA-accredited internship and fellowship at UCLA, specializing in neurodevelopmental issues like autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. As founder of the Center for Pediatric Neuropsychology and director at UCLA's Cultural Neuropsychology Program, her focus is on culturally appropriate evaluations for Latino/a children and teaching social skills to neurodiverse youth. Dr. Fernandez discusses how bilingualism in children is often misunderstood and that it's usually good for cognitive development. She also elaborates upon some red flags when it comes to identifying possible learning disabilities such as dyslexia and how her procedures differ depending on whether or not the bilingual child is in an English-only classroom or if the child is in a dual language immersion program. She reflects on some of her frustrations around how bilingual children are assessed and what she hopes to see change in the future. While we have certainly seen great strides and progress in this area, there is still much work to do, such as honoring heritage languages, increasing integration, and identifying problems earlier. Dr. Fernandez is a wealth of knowledge on this topic, and her passion truly shines through.  Show Notes: [2:40] - Assessing bilingual children is a true passion for Dr. Fernandez. [3:44] - She feels that bilingualism in children is often misunderstood. [5:22] - Learning another language is incredibly dynamic and complex and is different for every child. [7:06] - Vindia reflects on a recent change of more children engaged in dual language immersion programs. [9:55] - What red flags should be paid attention to that don't tend to be problems with monolingual children? [13:11] - Vindia explains why her procedures differ depending on whether the bilingual child is in a dual language immersion program. [15:46] - Vindia explains why assessments might need to be done in both of a child's languages. [18:07] - What role do language disorders play in bilingual children? [21:28] - We ultimately want these children to be confident and to reach milestones. [24:15] - “You teach to the skill that you want to see improvement in.” [27:16] - Dr. Fernandez mentions that 50-75% of behavior therapy involves parents.  [30:55] - She gives some helpful advice to parents.

This week on the 27Speaks podcast, the editors discuss the origins, purposes and successes of the program.

She is AMI-trained at the 0-3 and 3-6 levels, and is currently doing her AMI Administrators Certificate training.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Thais America Guirigay Aparicio de Sanguinetti. Thais made her earthly transition after this recording on Friday October 6, 2023.Sophie P. Jupillat Posey was born in Venezuela, adopted by French parents, residing in the United States from three to 28 years of age and now currently residing in Franc. Sophie's life has been as complex and rich as her heritage. Her childhood and teenage years were full of amazing adventures such as raising raccoons, learning dual curriculums at the same time and traveling extensively throughout the US and France. However, those years were full of pain due to psychological and physical abuse. She was exposed to the arts early on; which resulted in her falling in love with writing and music. Sophie went to Rollins College in 2011, and graduated with a Bachelors in English with Honors, as well as minors in both Music and Creative Writing. She started publishing short stories, and her orchestral and piano pieces in literary magazines while she was still in college. She is now an indie author, publishing novels and novellas, in the fantasy and science fiction genres mainly (also some poetry and kid lit). She is also an indie composer and singer-songwriter with three albums in the neoclassical and jazz genres under her belt. She has also scored the soundtracks for a few short films.Sophie is also a teacher with experience teaching Special Ed and ESE students in English and French. Like most things in her life it was a happy accident that led her from doing private tutoring during and after college, to teaching full-time and getting her certifications and Masters in Elementary Education with a focus on Dual Language writer.https://linktr.ee/spjposeyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU9l2wYoh_AMusic by Corey Quinn

Janna: I believe that most homeschool parents would agree with you that like we all have this dream, I think of being bilingual and then passing that on to our children.

To launch Season 4 of the Montessori in Action Podcast, our topic is dual language and Montessori. We have two guests who have recently written articles about this unique combination. Gabriela Iturrald Espejo, the biliteracy coordinator at Montessori del Mundo, wrote The Science of Reading for Bilingual Children which appeared in Montessori Public's recent issue. Sally Ness, the Director of Admissions at Intercultural Montessori Language School, wrote Dual Language, Montessori Education- The Pathway for Peace, which appeared in Montessori Life. These two educators unpacked some of the complexities of schools that offer both Montessori and dual language programs.

Dual language immersion school programs have become increasingly more popular with more and more families considering them. On this episode Karen talks to Family Room mom Melissa Merritt about the ins and outs of enrolling her two children in dual language programs. Melissa's children started in a dual language preschool and then transitioned into a dual language kindergarten program. Melissa shares what it was like sending her non-native speakers into a classroom where they didn't know the language, how they adapted, all about researching, applying and choosing a dual language immersion kindergarten program and more. Love the show?

The importance of getting more Oregon children learning more languages is what the U.S. Secretary of Education is scheduled to talk about on his trip to Woodburn this week. Meanwhile, the National Association of Bilingual Education is meeting in Portland for its annual conference. And the Beaverton School District is actively looking for input from parents on how to expand its dual language program. Toshiko Maurizio is the administrator for the district's multilingual programs and she says with more than 100 languages spoken in the district, it's critical to hear from K-4th grade parents in particular where they would like to see the district invest their dual language dollars. We talk with Maurizio about the district's plan and what the research shows about how bilingual students compare academically with those who only speak English.

Todays' episode answers a question from Brian. He has questions about his son's language development since he is raising him in a dual language home, in Spain. His son is 22 months.  We dig into HOW two languages are learned simultaneously, some norms and considerations.  Btw listeners ~ It is fun to answer listener questions over picking from my list of what I 'THINK" others will be interested in.  If you have a specific topic of curiosity, email that to me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com.
