Equity means appreciating everyone despite the differences in the level of their contributions: Parent Volunteer Appreciation Day.

I am sharing a few photos from a wonderful event we organized for Parent Volunteer Appreciation Day. All parents received a Healthy Start Swag bag containing hygiene items, a stress ball, pen, and bookmarks , about 135 items were distributed from my program in school.

All parents received a link for the pictures and had a great lunch. We created a good space so they can bring their little one.

They also received a message and a card of appreciation from me. The school administrators and parent center also contributed to showing appreciation for them which I wrote in English and Spanish.

Here are the messages and some pictures. Thank you, Parent Volunteers! Your dedication brightens our school every day.

In order to achieve this goal, reform needs to combat discrimination based on socially constructed notions of difference, such as gender, race, ethnicity, ability, class, and sexual orientation"  (Fallah et al., 2018).              Most people concerned with the state of education in the United States would agree that our schools are failing a large portion of the culturally and linguistically diverse, socio-economically disadvantaged, minority and immigrant students, as well as students with disabilities.  T here is a pronounced and pervasive achievement gap between English L

Women's History Month: Honoring Women in Education and Encouraging Self-Care

 Dr. Soraya Fallah message for Women History Month As we honor the remarkable contributions of women throughout history during Women's History Month, I would like to take a moment to celebrate the phenomenal women in education who shape our classrooms, work as administrators, advocate for parents and kids, and influence policies and communities every day. Our dedication, passion, and tireless efforts are truly commendable, and I am grateful for what we do. In addition to celebrating the achievements of women in education, I want to encourage each of you to prioritize self-care during Women's History Month and beyond. As educators and caregivers, we often devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the needs of others, sometimes neglecting our well-being in the process. Therefore, I challenge you to prioritize self-care this month by taking small steps to nurture your physical, mental, and emotional health. Whether practicing mindfulness, engaging in regular exercise, setting aside
