Have you considered how you are talking with the children and youth around you about Haiti? Are you looking to read books written by Haitian authors*? Then this information is for you! My homegirl Aiesha, media maker and creator behind Super Hussy Media, sent this link to amazing age-appropriate resources (for all ages) for those people who are instructors/educators or parents/mentors who seek to learn how to teach about Haiti. There are also great resources for self-education regarding Haiti.
If you are a professor I encourage you, and echo Prof. Susurro, to consider doing a Teach In regarding Haiti. Here’s an example of one going on in NYC at the Brecht Forum.
*Shameless plug for my NYC Caribbean book club called Date With A Book. If you are seeking authors I encourage you to check out the books we have read and are going to read or contact the creator Marcia directly. Tell her you found out about the book club from me!
Bilingual Education: The Debate Continues

18 Jun 2009MSNBC has an interesting piece on how increased immigration to formerly non-Latino areas of the country is affecting the educational landscape of public schools, and the contrast with areas of the country where English Only has succeeded in being instated and has subsequently failed students.
Have a look at the video and let us know what you think about this continuing debate. What’s best? Bilingual education? Immersion?

Mexico City goverment recommends Cuban teaching method

Mexico City‘s legislative assembly (ALDF) is recommending a Cuban government teaching method to bring literacy to the hundreds of thousands of people in the Federal District who do not attend school.
…(ALDF) recommended to the central and regional governments (of DF) the establishment of a teaching method developed by the Cuban government, in which minimal resources are required and through which people learn to read and write in just 7 weeks.
One Mexico City lawmaker even projects that the illiteracy problem of one of the city’s largest regions, Iztapalapa — home to over 40,000 non-literate people — could be eliminated in one year using this method.
According to La Jornada, the program, called Yo sà puedo, consists of 65 “teleclasses” of 30 minutes each, and evolves in three phases over the course of 7 weeks.
