Teacher Talk
With Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month in full swing, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to highlight a fantastic resource (discovered by NGPF’s very own Yanely Espinal) that discusses the difference between Hispanic, Latino, and Spanish.
(Updated September 2022)
Featured Resource and Activity Idea: Video
While many people and the media may use the terms Hispanic, Latino, and Spanish interchangeably, they all represent different identities! Kat Lazo, host of the Bustle video What's the difference between Hispanic, Latino, and Spanish?, highlights the importance of using appropriate language and encourages us to think about the historical, geographical, and cultural factors that shape these identities.
Through on-the-spot interviews, she tackles common misconceptions and identifies how these socially constructed labels are still flawed today.
Note: This video was created in 2015, before the gender-neutral term, Latinx, was popularized as an alternative to the pan-ethnic terms “Latino” and “Latina.”
After watching this video, you might invite your students to discuss some of the questions below in pairs, groups, or as a whole class!
NGPF will be featuring Latinx/Hispanic financial leaders and educators in our Speaker Series and Virtual PDs this month. Here are two upcoming opportunities:
Oct. 6 - Author's Corner Speaker Series with Christopher Rivas, "Brown Enough" at 4pm PT / 7pm ET
Oct. 11 - Panel Discussion with Teachers of ELLs at 2pm PT / 5 pm ET

Sonia has always been passionate about instruction and improving students' learning experiences. She's come a long way since her days as a first grader, when she would "teach" music and read to her very attentive stuffed animals after school. Since then, she has taught students as a K-12 tutor, worked in several EdTech startups in the Bay Area, and completed her Ed.M in Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She is passionate about bringing the high quality personal finance content and instruction she wished she'd received in school to the next generation of students and educators. When she isn't crafting lesson guides or working with teachers, Sonia loves to spend her time singing, being outdoors, and adventuring with family and friends!
