 Building Inclusive Communities: Dr. Soraya Fallah Represented RESPite and Healthy Start at the All Abilities Resource Fair

I had the opportunity to represent the LAUSD Refugee Educational Support Program (RESPite) and the Healthy Start Program at the All Abilities Resource Fair, hosted by CSUN Family Focus Resource Center this weekend.

It was a truly rewarding experience connecting with families and sharing valuable resources aimed at supporting students of all abilities. I’m especially thankful for the chance to help many newcomers, whom I had contacted ahead of time. I guided them through the process, ensuring they understood the available resources, and it was wonderful to see them learn and engage with the information provided.

Ensuring that everyone feels included and supported is a key priority of our programs, especially for our Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) population, particularly those newly arrived in this country.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our booth. Together, we are building stronger and more inclusive communities that uplift every student and family.

  Expanding Our Understanding of Inclusive Education:  The Case for Equity in Systemic Reform     In the r eview of "Ability, Equity, and Culture; Sustaining Inclusive Urban Education Reform", I indicated that  "a sustainable, scalable, successful systemic educational reform is attainable, provided that all stakeholders are committed to cultural responsivity and inclusivity for all students. 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
