“Finding ways to elevate the richness and beauty of Latinx histories, cultures, and traditions helps create spaces where students feel valued and respected,” shares Valentín Escañuela, executive leadership coach in SDCOE’s Equity department.

To support educators, SDCOE created a guide to observing Hispanic Heritage Month and the Equity Blueprint for Action that are both available on our website. They provide actionable ways to honor the diversity, contributions, and history of Hispanic Americans so all students thrive in our schools. Visit https://bit.ly/3LoZtp1 to learn more.

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 and is a great opportunity to listen and learn from our students and community members now and throughout the year.
