This issue is published at a time of challenges and unrest across the country and the world. During the Spring of 2020 efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 impacted the lives of children, families and communities across the United States of America and the world. The magnitude of the pandemic is still unknown. Our interconnected lives are simultaneously impacted by economic blows, unemployment, food insecurity, and deaths. On the front lines of our cities are the health workers, first responders, and essential workers showing incredible bravery. Volunteers of every race and language demonstrate sympathy as hunger spreads among the diverse working families laid off from their jobs. Scientists world-wide work diligently to discover a vaccine to fight the coronavirus. However, the incredible hard work, kindness, and support has not prevented the loss of lives in the U.S. and its territories. The health crisis continues.

双语教育者：在健康和社会危机期间和之后，我们的角色是什么？

本期是在全国乃至全世界都面临挑战和动荡之际出版的。在 2020 年春季，防止 COVID-19 传播的努力影响了美利坚合众国和世界各地儿童、家庭和社区的生活。大流行的严重程度仍然未知。我们相互关联的生活同时受到经济打击、失业、粮食不安全和死亡的影响。在我们城市的前线，卫生工作者、急救人员和基本工作人员表现出令人难以置信的勇气。随着饥饿在各种失业的工薪家庭中蔓延，各个种族和语言的志愿者都表现出同情。全世界的科学家都在努力寻找一种疫苗来对抗冠状病毒。然而，令人难以置信的辛勤工作，善良，和支持并没有阻止美国及其领土上的生命损失。健康危机仍在继续。
