Equity in Action: UnidosUS's Elizabeth Zamudio on Family Engagement & ESL Challenges

In this insightful interview, join me as I speak with Elizabeth Zamudio, Vice President of Education at UnidosUS—the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization. As a first-generation college graduate and seasoned education leader with over 20 years of experience, Elizabeth shares her journey from college counseling to leading K-16 equity initiatives for Latino youth.
We discuss the biggest hurdles in U.S. schools and how teachers can advocate for change. We also talk about actionable ways to partner with parents (many ELs themselves) to build supportive home environments for language development, and much more.
Whether you're a new ESL teacher, a seasoned pro, or passionate about equity in education, this conversation is packed with inspiration and tools to make a real impact. Elizabeth's passion for bridging gaps in access and opportunity will leave you motivated to empower the next generation of learners!
