“as a new dual language school leader, i need collaboration in affinity with other latino/x leaders so we can learn the dual language model together. learning from someone who has done the work and looks like me helps me feel safe to fail and have the courage to try. i am grateful that the canizales group exists, for someone like me who is new to this space, this is powerful and needed.”
