Speaking a second language, even if not fluently, is still better than not speaking one at all. It has cognitive benefits and surprisingly aids in mathematics. Teachers, encourage multilingualism in children as it enhances their brain functions beyond communication. Let’s nurture this gift rather than tearing it down. #Bilingualism #CognitiveBenefits #MultilingualEducation #3epodcast #EduSky
Hi there! I'm Dr. Almitra Berry, but people call me “Doc.”. I'm an educator, author, consultant, and podcast host with a passion for making our schools work better for all students.
Over my 30-year career in education, I've gathered a wealth of experiences and insights that I love sharing. My work focuses on educational equity, especially for culturally and linguistically diverse learners in urban school districts.
I've written professional learning books, consulted with school districts across the country, and spoken at numerous conferences. But what I enjoy most is connecting with people who care about improving education for marginalized learners.
On my podcast, I enjoy having meaningful conversations about education. I bring a mix of expertise, real-world stories, and a touch of humor to discussions on topics like curriculum reform, leadership in education, creating inclusive classrooms, and the politics of education.
