Thank you @KendraScott Foundation and @texasyesproject for supporting our schools! The first “Little Yellow Library” in Texas was donated along with a check for the school librarian to order books at Gooch!

And special shoutout to former Dallas Cowboy @darrenwoodson28 for reading a story to the students! They were super engaged & had wonderful questions! Awesome experience for kids! 🙌🏽

The amazing Meredith Clark talking rubrics and TEKS. Are your interpersonal prompts aligned to TEKS? Hmmmm. #langchat #TFLA23

[Elisabeth Howell @Elisabeth13]

Love @mmehay ideas on writing a transcript of your interpersonal speaking and making corrections! 😍#langchat #TFLA23

"Just because we see something happening in a classroom doesn't mean the teacher believes in it" - talking about bad practices, etc. - great reminder not to judge. Sometimes teachers just need skills to be better. #TALS23 #langchat

As the first polyglot Indian immigrant President of @actfl I enjoyed keynoting the 5th International Hindi Conference at the Consulate General of @IndiainNewYork 🇮🇳
They presented two awards to ACTFL & I for our support of less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) #langchat

And this is why Google Translate and AI are not ready to be used in the language education arena.

As the 2023 @actfl President, I stand in solidarity with the teachers & employees who have been wronged by the organization. I urge @kalpenn & @Ms_eagleheart to call out the culture of discrimination & xenophobia. Please know that my complaint w the NY AG is active #langchat

ACTFL condemns WVU's recommendation to cut to all WL courses & majors. This decision will disadvantage WVU grads in today's multilingual job market & could have a negative impact on WV K12 programs. We urge WVU leadership to reverse course & keep WL at WVU.https://t.co/J5cxuptwCV
