El Centro

El Centro and Cuentos Community Writing Workshops Partnership with El Centro Cultural De La Raza and High Tech High Chula Vista Grounded in community cultural wealth and a dedication to finding ways to empower teachers to take ownership of their stories, Cuentos Community Writing Workshops are spaces where teachers can come together to share their stories, the stories of their communities, and celebrate their own heritages, voices, and histories.  SDSU Literacy Center Self-Assessment Report Quotes from past participants: Sandra Kinder teacher: “This has been the best, professional development opportunity I’ve ever had. It is such a beautiful space of learning, and affirming of me, my culture, and my language.  Delilah: “Can I keep coming back every year? I know I’ve been twice now, but truly, there is nothing like Cuentos anywhere in teacher professional development.”  Iri: “Truly thank you to Alexia and Celina, and Mónica for creating this space of support and love and just affirmation that this is what matters for teaching.”
