Nancy Gladys Rodríguezteacher & language learner coordinatorBorn in San Francisco, CA, her family is from El Salvador and her father and his generation are often considered pioneers of Salvadoran immigration to San Francisco. She currently teaches U.S. History in the Newcomer Pathway at Mission High School in San Francisco. She is also the English Language Learner Coordinator at her school and runs the Organization of Latinx Students. She received her BA in Political Science and Latin American Studies at UC Berkeley and earned her teaching credential from San Francisco State University. She has worked with immigrant students for over twenty years and strives to provide students with an education that promotes English Development, along with critical thinking skills, antiracist teaching, and social justice. Her workshop will provide pedagogical strategies for teaching Social Studies content such as the Civil Rights Movement and school segregation, while practicing basic skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing. Session participants will be led through a lesson plan in which students read and analyze 4 case studies and explore their own experiences in U.S. Schools, learn new terms about segregation, and employ various strategies to access complex readings. Students then brainstorm on a community service project that addresses some of the inequities that they might experience in their new schools. How will they bridge the gap?
