Go Columbia for joining the list of nations that ban child marriage, while 37 states in the U.S. allow it... #endchildmarriage
At a time when girlsβ rights face growing threats around the world, I am so encouraged to see this progress in Colombia. Congratulations to all the activists and legislators who fought to pass this bill. This is a major step forward for girls πͺπ½

When former students tell you, "Thank you for forcing me to read hard texts. I wouldn't have known how to read a textbook without you," and "Make them do homework or they will not survive college" among other gems. The visit encouraged me -- I'm not giving up.

Enjoyed this read! "I used to think a quiet classroom meant the teacher had good classroom management. Now, when I observe a quiet classroom, I wonder about language development. And I wonder about multilingual learners." @ValentinaESL
