    How to implement Latino studies curriculum in NYC schools
    Dec 15 2024
    In this episode of Tiempo, we focus on education — highlighting a new initiative to develop Latino studies in New York City schools, and events designed to help guide students and families in filling out complex federal aid forms. More than 400,000 New York City school students are Latino. In response, local educators and community organizations have launched a new initiative to develop a Latino studies curriculum. New York City Public Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos, who is also Latina, is in favor of the plan. Joining us is Dr. Limarys Caraballo from the Teachers College, Columbia University and América Cañas Garcia from United Way of New York City. Together they educate us on how a Latino studies curriculum would be implemented. Meanwhile, James Rodriguez, from UFT's College and Career Resource Fairs, and Francisco García-Quezada from the New York City Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network join the show to highlight several FAFSA completion events they are holding in our area, designed to help students and families navigate the complex application process.

  • Future of immigration programs under President-elect Donald Trump's 2nd term

    Future of immigration programs under President-elect Donald Trump's 2nd term
    Dec 8 2024
    On this edition of Tiempo, a special honor for the legendary Rita Moreno. The Boricua actress, activist and former Tiempo guest is turning 93 years old, and to mark the occasion, toymaker Mattel made a doll in her honor. The doll pays homage to the trailblazer with a gown she wore the night she won the Oscar in 1962 for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Anita in "Westside Story." Tiempo has details on how and when you can get the special edition doll. Also ahead, the Yonkers Fire Department is looking to hire and diversify the ranks. The recruitment team has visited schools and community centers to get the word out. We talk to them about their recruitment efforts. But right now, we focus on President-elect Donald Trump and his call for mass deportations. Under Trump's plans, programs that offer temporary protection for immigrants may be at risk. One major concern centers around DACA: the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Immigration attorneys have been very busy preparing for the possibility of large-scale workplace raids and roundups in communities throughout the five boroughs and beyond. Joining us to discuss the matter is attorney Steve Maggi. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    On this edition of Tiempo, the largest family-owned circus is back performing some exhilarating acrobatics in Queens. For 55 years, Circus Vazquez has entertained generations of audiences with an authentic and affordable circus experience, and this year's show carries on that legacy.
