Testimony

“I fell in love with teaching when I was 20 years old and my passion for bilingualism and biliteracy remains the same. As a part of SMEC, I look forward to partner with leaders and bilingual teachers to develop strong dual language programs. By customizing curriculum and providing high-quality professional development, we help them meet the needs of bilingual and biliterate students. I know I’m doing my part to change the face of dual language education every day.”
