Principal of Dr. Lynn Armstrong Elementary School, Nancy Sanchez, explores the struggle students can face when they are from a bilingual background.
This week on Kids Can! from Action For Healthy Kids, get ready to hear an exciting conversation with the Principal of Dr. Lynn Armstrong Elementary School in Fort Bend, Texas, Nancy Sanchez! She sits down with the wonderful Rob Bisceglie to explore some of the difficulties students can face when they come from a bilingual background and why adult mentors can be so vital for kids as they grow up. Kids Can! is a show that tries to highlight everyday issues children face today and features discussions on how even you, the listener, can help the kids in your life. Not only do we get to hear a little bit about Nancy’s background and what inspired her career but we also learn about what she is doing in her own work to really make sure every student has what they need to succeed. Get some insight into how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected schools, educators and parents alike the last year-and-a-half and how they have pivoted to accommodate these issues. Together the duo touch on the power of fostering nurturing, trusting environments both in schools and at home for children across the globe and the harmful effects that come with a lack of them too. Hear about the importance of role models for student development and what we can try to do to ensure that every child has a nurturing relationship with an adult. Nancy and Rob also talk about a few of the student or kid-centered solutions that are being developed for some of the challenges we're facing today. Take a deep dive into how Nancy and her colleagues have employed various strategies over the last two years to help families thrive during the pandemic and foster a sense of community as well as growth. If you have kids in your life, this is the show for you, so join us for Kids Can!, brought to you by Action For Healthy Kids.
