#84: Ana Guzmán: Reframing ELL

Ana Guzmán talked about her experience as an English Language Learner and reframing that term to Emergent Bilingual as she now works to help students who are learning a second language. I love that reframing, focusing on the impressive fact that these students already know at least one language and are learning an additional language! 

She shared some strategies art educators can use in reaching and teaching emergent bilingual students as well as advocating with administration and higher level bureaucrats. 

I loved hearing about her art journaling and how she’s taking time to reflect as part of her own art-making practice. That ebb and flow in life is so REAL and so important to talk about. We can’t do everything all the time, as much as we may want to. 

Ana shared resources for connecting art and English learning as well as several scholars whom she’s learned from. These are all linked in the blog post here: https://www.teachingartistpodcast.com/episode-84-ana-guzman
