Friends and Partners,
As we move further into 2021, we at SEAL are reflecting and taking stock of all that has happened over the last year, and looking forward to where we are headed. There is no question that we are still in the thick of this pandemic, and all the related and preexisting social strife, but we also see hope on the horizon. SEAL is ever more committed to serving our English Learner/Dual Language Learner students along with their teachers, families, and school communities. While we fully acknowledge the disproportionately negative impacts being experienced by the communities we serve, we also continue to reimagine how we can, should, and must redesign our educational practices and school systems if we truly intend to work towards an equitable and just society. We thank you for your partnership and shared dedication to SEAL’s mission- that all English Learners/Dual Language Learners in California learn, thrive and lead.
In solidarity,
Anya Hurwitz
Executive Director
SEAL
