Hello
colleagues!
I am sending this message on behalf of Dr. Kalinec-Craig, who is on development leave this semester. We have an exciting opportunity this semester for you and
your students. We are thrilled to virtually host Olga Torres, a
retired elementary bilingual education teacher from Tucson, Arizona, who theorized the
Rights
of
the
Learner
(e.g., the right to be confused; to make a mistake; to speak, listen, and be heard; to write, do, and represent what makes sense to you) and has inspired us at UTSA
to incorporate this into our program and curriculum. Señora Torres will share pivotal experiences as a bilingual educator and how we can reimagine classrooms as humanizing and democratic spaces where all children have the right to thrive.
Details and a flyer are included below, please sign up if you are interested and please encourage your students to join us by signing up also. The Zoom link
for the seminar will be emailed to registrants prior to the event.
Olga Torres Seminar
Scheduled: Apr 11, 2023 at 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM

Sincerely,
Crystal Kalinec-Craig and Zaid Haddad

“Tell them about how you’re never really a whole person if you remain silent, because there’s always that one little piece inside you that
wants to be spoken out, and if you keep ignoring it, it gets madder and madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don’t speak it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from inside.” –Audre Lorde, recalling her daughter’s words of advice.
