WORKSHOPS
Let’s Get to Work Together
I support world language educators in using effective techniques that truly make a difference in the classroom. I provide teachers with practical strategies that connect with today’s students. My approach is rooted in research, combined with current practices in education, and enriched by my years of hands-on teaching experience, as I am actively teaching in the classroom myself!
I am available to offer in-person and virtual workshops, consultations for school districts, departments, conferences, and one-on-one mentoring.
I have worked with small and large audiences on topics such as:
1. Curriculum development and transformation
2. Technology tools for world language classes
3. Going beyond vocabulary lists
4. Gamifying the world language classroom
5. Using stories to support language acquisition
6. Comprehensible input in the elementary classroom
7. Custom workshops
