~Share something you are passionate about:
I am passionate about narrowing the achievement gap for at-risk students. All students, regardless of academic, linguistic, social, and emotional struggles have the right to a school curriculum that embraces diversity for the success of all types of learners. I believe that an inclusive approach to implementing a universal design for learning that works for all students is key.
~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?
As educators, we can begin by embracing an inclusive approach, via a co-teaching model, that does not segregate students based on individual struggles. Dr. Gonzalez reaches high levels of success with both teachers and students by engaging in meticulous data analysis and taking an inclusive approach to implementing a universal design for learning that works for all students.
~Describe something our readers today can look forward to discovering in your chapter, Why Can’t Professional Educators Talk About the Elephants in the Room? The Undiscussables of Culture:
Culture has become a very important element in 21st century education. One of the reasons is the influx of immigrants we have here in America. I work with a high student population of Hispanics. Some undiscussables of culture in this population include undocumented status, socioeconomic conditions, linguistic barriers, and others. As professional educators, it is important to engage in dialogue of sensitive issues if we are to ensure immigrant students are provided a fair and appropriate public education.
