Boosting Achievement: The ESL Podcast

Dr. Carol Salva interviews award-winning professor and author, Dr. Francisco Jiménez. Full show notes at bit.ly/BAPODCAST. This show offers inspiration to anyone teaching Multilingual Learners with interrupted education, students who may be fearful of deportation, and any students who may be struggling due to difficult circumstances. Dr. Jiménez was deported as a migrant farm worker when he was in school. But his life is proof that a challenging event is not the end of a person's story. His autobiographical books are listed by the American Library Assn's 50 best young adult books of all time. They are so important for our empathy and our mindset. Now we can add this podcast to our toolbox!
