2015 NMABE Conference LearningthroughLanguage:ABenefitforAll

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

I’d like to personally welcome each of you to the NMABE 2015 Conference: “Learning

Through Language: A Benefit for All!” It’s an exciting time for educators from around New

Mexico to gather together as professionals, learning from one another. As we strive to

provide our emerging bilingual students with quality instruction to attain the Common

Core State Standards and achieve academically, we recognize that it is through language that

learning is accomplished. As life-long learners, we continue to grow and develop

professionally, remaining always adaptable, motivated and responsive to meeting the needs

of each and every student in the state of New Mexico. Education is always confronted with

times of change, and we’re meeting these changes as strong advocates for educational reform

that recognizes the power and worth of bilingualism and multiculturalism. Language is the

key that opens the door to learning.

I’d like to give you an idea of what you can expect and what we hope to achieve over the

next few days. You will get to hear from experts in the field regarding Native Language and

Culture, Dual Language Education, strategies for English Language Learners, content

specific ideas supporting language acquisition and much more. This year’s Keynote speakers

- Dr. Kathy Escamilla and Dr. Luis C. Moll - are nationally recognized for their work in

Bilingual Education. All selected presentations are aligned to the NMTEACH Elements and

Domains. This was done in an effort to keep everyone engaged in the teaching and learning

expectations within each classroom. As an attendee, you can rest assured that the breakout

sessions will build your expertise with the NMTEACH tool, and they will provide great

opportunities for professional conversations with your colleagues. Using the NMTEACH

framework to acknowledge the expectations of teaching and learning, we can move toward

creating classrooms that reflect the context for bilingualism, equity and educational

excellence.

Sincerely,

Nana Encinias Victoria Tafoya

MISSION

T he New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education is dedicated to supporting Bilingual Educators in their work and in their professional growth throughout the state of New Mexico. We believe that Bilingual Education benefits all students - those who are learning English as well as those who are

learning other languages. We recognize the importance of many different kinds of educators in the lives of New Mexico students: parents, extended family members, teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals and peers. NMABE embraces the rich cultural and linguistic diversity within our state and promotes its inclusion in the education of all students. The association promotes educational excellence and equity through the creation of activities including advocacy, professional development and research.

• To stimulate professional development;

• To establish national contacts through affiliation with na-tional professional organizations;

• To provide opportunities to study and discuss issues concern-ing Bilingual Education;

• To act as a clearinghouse in circulating information of value and in keeping teachers posted on the latest educational movements and findings;

• To present significant findings through El Noticiero, through presentations and/or via the NMABE website - www.nmabe.net;

• To address Bilingual Multicultural Education through insti-tutes and the NMABE Annual Conference;

• To help improve and support native language instruction and the teaching of English through Bilingual Education programs.

Richard Gutierrez is a native of New Mexico, with roots originating in

Cuba, New Mexico and La Jara, New Mexico. He was raised in the Albuquerque downtown area.

Mr. Gutierrez is a self-taught New Mexico artist. He launched his business in 2011 — Synchronicity Art and Photography. By offering his palette of colors and his fusion of abstract and realistic art, his art work becomes a collaborative ef-fort between the customer and the artist, bringing to life an image that only existed in the mind’s eye of his customer.

Richard was the featured poster art-ist for the Alliance for Multilingual Multicultural Education’s Inaugural

Conference in 2010, for the Annual New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education (NMABE) Conference in 2011 and for La Cosecha Dual Language Conference in 2012.

Parent Involvement/Leadership

Parent involvement in Special Educa-tion has, and continues to be, a dif-ficult goal to achieve in public educa-tion, even though parent participation in the IEP process is mandatory. The composition of Special Education placements continues to be heavy in minority representation. This should be a concern to us all. However, we believe that some confusion exists as to what parental involvement is and how it can be defined. Parental involvement must be defined within a cultural context. Schools need to change their perception of what parent involvement is and what it entails. This presentation describes what parental involvement in Special Education can look like if it is embed-ded in a cultural context.

This session addresses possible bar-riers as reasons why families are not engaged with schools. The dialogue will have parents/families addressing the reasons for not participating in schools. This process helps families formalize a voice by conducting a step-by-step process focusing on goals and outcomes to help schools address the problems parents see in the schools.

Reading is the key to success in any language. This is especially true if the reading materials are geared toward the cultural diversity of the readers. Children are drawn into reading by dynamic illustrations and a story line that they can relate to.

THE TEÓFILA TRUJILLO AWARD

This award was created in the early years of Bilingual Education in New Mexico, in memory of an outstanding parent liaison in the Taos Schools’ Title VII Bilingual Education Program. Teófila did much to inform, involve

and deepen parents’ understanding of the importance of language, history and cul-ture in the curriculum. As a result of her work, many parents became involved by providing needed resources in the classrooms, helping to develop the curriculum and encouraging their children to do well in school. Teófila touched the hearts, minds and souls of many.

THE MATÍAS L. CHACÓN AWARD

This award is named in honor of the late State Senator Matías L. Chacón. It is awarded to recognize a New Mexican who has made a significant contribution to Bilingual Education at the state level. Senator Matías Chacón (from the Española area) introduced the Bilingual Multicultural Education Act of 1973.

Senator Chacón was interested in quality in the public schools, and was most concerned about the Spanish-speaking population, not only in the north, but also in the entire state. Senator Chacón sought a broader application of the state’s prior Bilingual Education legislation, which had been designed only for non-English speak-ers. Without funding, it would be difficult to realize the aspirations of the people for bilingualism and cultural preservation.

So, Senator Chacón introduced legislation for Bilingual Education to receive suf-ficient funding to implement quality Bilingual Education programs for all students in Grades K-6, not just those with limited ability in English. His actions instituted

the idea of Bilingual Multicultural Education in all corners of the state. The Act nurtured the concept that it was sound to use the home language as a medium of instruction and to include the state’s cultures in the curriculum. This brought about a resurgence of pride in the languages of the state, and a means by which the state’s institutions - its schools - could preserve and develop its heritage languages while also developing English language proficiency for all.

THE BEN LUJÁN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The Ben Luján Lifetime Achievement Award is NMABE’s newest award. It is named after the late Speaker of the House, Rep. Ben Luján, who served with distinction as one of New Mexico’s longest-serving legisla-tors. As the Speaker of the House, he became one of the most powerful

legislators in the state and in the state’s history, and he became equally more humble, passionate and caring.

Speaker Luján was often fondly referred to as “the champion of the people.” His ability to be accessible to all was one of his hallmarks. He was open to ideas, especially those of educators, and developed a trust and confidence in them, which in turn, created an extraordinarily profound partnership.

As a staunch supporter for education, Speaker Luján led the efforts over the years to sustain the funding for education. He supported the creation of the Bilingual Multicultural Education Act of 1973. He also created special legislation to develop and implement after-school K-8 programs as an enrichment and academic support for all students, especially for those at risk.
