For most, this will be their first trip outside the U.S. and an exciting chance to put Spanish language skills to use. Check out the inspiring reasons participants share for going abroad and feel free to support their fundraising efforts!

"Language is learned, not because we want to talk or read or write about language, but because we want to talk and read and write about the world." -- Courtney, Cazden, Professor Emerita, Harvard Graduate School of Education.
This blog, curated by Oakland Unified School District's English Language Learner and Multilingual Achievement Office, seeks to spotlight Oakland teachers and the diverse strategies they've implemented to support English Language Learners to achieve at high levels and graduate college, career and community ready.
