So, #English is now the official language in the #UnitedStates…¡cálmate! #Bilingualism and #multilingualism will always open doors to a global community.

Tapteal ES #duallanguage teachers, thank you for allowing our team member, David Nungaray, to learn alongside you today! DL job-embedded coaching is key in implementing biliteracy instructional systems!! #C6BiliteracyFramework #RichlandSchoolDistrict #Washington @DavidNungaray88

Linguistic and cultural diversity have always been our greatest strengths. A stroke of the pen doesn’t change that. PS. English-only ideologies are grounded in xenophobia.

Blanca Anchondo-Polite, thanks for representing our team and facilitating #duallanguage job-embedded coaching at Washington DL Academy in @maywood89! Great things are happening at Washington! #C6BiliteracyFramework

I truly believe that #duallanguage has the potential to make the world a better place. I hope this video of 4 and 5 year-olds loving themselves fully, inspires you. PS. If you oppose DEI, this is what you oppose. @duallanguage #C6BiliteracyFramework

#MedinaMondayMessage: As the U.S. government intensifies its attack on immigrant communities, we continue the fight for linguistic liberation. Students from culturally and linguistically diverse homes are a gift and deserve our continued advocacy. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽#duallanguage #C6BiliteracyFramework #bilingual

@PascoSD1 #duallanguage educators, thank you for your dedication to equity in biliteracy lesson planning! Day 1 of the #C6BiliteracyFramework was so much fun! ¡Nos vemos mañana para el segundo día de planificación!

This is our new reality in U.S. classrooms. Educators charged to protect and serve culturally and linguistically diverse student communities are asking for their deportation.

Thanks Dr. Colón for facilitating Day 3 with #duallanguage teachers from @CNUSD! It was a great success!! It is important to facilitate PD in BOTH program languages. A full day of PD en español!! #C6BiliteracyFramework

Gracias al segundo grupo de participantes en la sesión La clase dual: Instrucción en español en @CNUSD. Dra. Colón, gracias por apoyar a los docentes que asistieron. ¡Aplauso! #C6BiliteracyFramework #California

WTF?!?! So causing irreparable trauma to ALL students, undocumented or not, is okay? Got it. I guess bringing down the price of groceries takes a backseat.

Dr. Íngrid Colón, thank you for representing our team and facilitating La clase dual: Instrucción en español for @CNUSD on Tuesday!! What a great way to start a 3 day PD series in #California! #C6BiliteracyFramework

#MedinaMondayMessage: Martin Luther King Jr. stated it best. #MLKDay #mlkday2025 #MLK

Today, I had the pleasure of learning alongside educators from @HaywardUSD in #California! We spent the day going deeper into content, language, and culture learning targets! Additionally, we planned using the 5 cross-linguistic tools! #C6BiliteracyFramework #duallanguage #duallanguagerocks

Planching is as correct as planchando and ironing! #Spanglish

Blanca Anchondo, thanks for representing our team and serving the Farmersville USD community during the past 3 days!! The participants were amazing and planned for biliteracy as a way to ensure equity in #duallanguage! #California #C6BiliteracyFramework

Doña Carmen, por más de dos décadas fue mi honor contar con su amistad y apoyo. Gracias por abrir su corazón a mi familia. Para Tony y para mí, el que nuestras familias se unieran a nuestro lado, fue lo más importante. La familia Medina la quiere, hoy y por siempre. 🙏🏽💙

Wherever I am en el mundo, I am never lost porque sé de dónde vengo. Soy binational, bicultural, and bilingüe. #ElPaso #Juarez #Juárez #Spanglish #español #border #Chicano #Mexican #MexicanAmerican

La RAE is a tool. It does not dictate the #Spanish language - it reflects its changes as people use #español to communicate. #Spanglish #Translanguaging

#MedinaMondayMessage: As U.S. educators who facilitate instruction in #Spanish, let us not weaponize la RAE! #español #translanguaging #duallanguage #worldlanguage

#ClubAmerica celebration outside our Mexico City home! I’m not a soccer fan, pero soy fan de #CDMX y su corazón! #ClubAmérica #Futbol #Soccer #Mexico #México

In my opinion, los mejores tacos al pastor in #MexicoCity are en el #BarrioChino! El Buen Taco is a little hole in the wall, pero riquísimo! #CDMX #CDMXLife

Every single one of us, whether monolingual or multilingual, has a pronounced accent somewhere in the world. #bilingual #nideaquinidealla #deaquiydealla #translanguaging

Bilingualism is a super power! Are we saying and showing this with our full chest so that students fully own their linguistic prowess? Love that the 4+1 language domains are included! Thanks to Kempton Literacy Academy in the San Diego area for this reminder! #California #C6BiliteracyFramework

#DualLanguage educators at Muir ES in @AntiochUnified are 🔥🔥🔥! Thanks especially to Ms. MacAlvey and Ms. Catalán for participating in the #C6BiliteracyFramework Learning Labs! @MargaMarshall, thanks for representing our team and facilitating the work!! #California

@BEAMDFW, thanks for the opportunity to deliver the #keynote address on April 5, 2025! I am humbled to return to the area to serve those have been instrumental in shaping who I am as a language researcher. www.beamdfw.org

This morning, I had the pleasure of facilitating a virtual opening session at the Impact Conference hosted by @EllevationEd. There were about 600 educators from around the country logged on. It was an amazing time learning alongside them! #EllevationIMPACT2024 🩴🩴🩴

First up, mi amigo! #impact2024 #EllevationEducation #multilingual #learners #ELL #ML #k12 #Edusky #ElPasoProud @josemedinajr89.bsky.social

Always, always LOVE learning from this incredible leader! @josemedinajr89.bsky.social - thank you for all your contributions to our entire field & community!

I have loved #Wicked since it opened on #Broadway. I was crying up a storm while watching @Wicked Movie. All the flowers! ¡Aplauso para @arianagrande, @Cynthia Erivo, y todo el elenco!

I can’t wait to facilitate the #keynote addresss at the #2025WIABE Conference! #Wisconsin educators, register now at www.wiabe.net. ¡Nos vemos pronto!

William Walker ES, although you are at the initial stages of #duallanguage program implementation, you are rocking it out! DL job-embedded coaching today, 🔥🔥🔥! Kinder and first grade this year, and next year, we add second grade! @BeavertonSD #C6BiliteracyFramework

Thank you to Aloha-Huber Park and Whitman MS in Beaverton, OR! It is my greatest pleasure to facilitate #duallanguage job-embedded coaching and to learn alongside educators seeking to continue to grow as biliteracy instructional facilitators! #C6BiliteracyFramework

@MargaMarshall, thank you for representing our team and facilitating #duallanguage guided lesson planning support in @AntiochUnified today! #C6BiliteracyFramework

Thank you Barnes ES and Beaverton HS! It was a pleasure to learn alongside you via #duallanguage job-embedded coaching. Linguistic equity starts with planning for biliteracy. @BeavertonSD #C6BiliteracyFramework

#DualLanguage teachers at Vose ES and Aloha HS motivate students to leverage their entire linguistic repertoires! DL goes beyond bilingualism & biliteracy. DL empowers students to fully embrace their cultural and linguistic identities. @BeavertonSD #C6BiliteracyFramework

I am always thrilled when I get to visit secondary #duallanguage programs because they are still a rare find. Thanks to Southridge HS and Meadow Park MS in @BeavertonSD for allowing me to facilitate job-embedded coaching for secondary DL teachers! #C6BiliteracyFramework

José Luis and Margarita are loving their return to #PuertoRico. More importantly, contentos de visitar y acompañar a diario a Doña Carmen, la mamá de Tony. 💙 MargaritaJose Medina

#MedinaMondayMessage: Translanguaging - mobilizing language features from our one linguistic repertoire based on context (García, et al., 2018) Multilinguals translanguage and so do people who are monolingual. #Spanglish #translanguaging

Signed up and ready for the chanclazos @josemedinajr89.bsky.social events.zoom.us/ev/At86_IUwL...

During, the last 15 years, Tony and I have been blessed to travel to many places around the 🌎 with mi amá and apá. Since my apá’s spinal cord surgery two years ago, travel has not been possible. Pero, today is the day!! Y, puro first class for my parents!

Hoy @SanElizarioISD, @ClintISD, y estudiantes de UTEP planificaron para la enseñanza de letras tramposas, cognados, acentos ortográficos, y escritura en español. Es importante continuar a ofrecer capacitación en español con el enfoque de lectoescritura en los dos idiomas. #duallanguage

@SanElizarioISD, @ClintISD, and UTEP Teacher Preparation Candidates joined forces today to go deeper into the #C6BiliteracyFramework! Planning for content objectives, language objectives, culture objectives, metalinguistic awareness, cross-linguistic connections, and translanguaging spaces, oh my!!!

Ayer, hoy, mañana y siempre, luchando y abogando por nuestra comunidad. #TransDayOfRemembrance

How can we deny any student, in any educational setting, the opportunity to leverage their full linguistic repertoire? If we don’t fully understand #translanguaging, let’s get more comfortable with it! The students we serve deserve it!

In the words of @josemedinajr89.bsky.social I am a linguistic oppressor in recovery
