It's a beautiful and uplifting conversation about the impact that our words and actions have on others and creating more empathetic humans.
Bio
Over the years, I've enjoyed teaching intermediate and advanced Spanish classes, coaching an all-gender soccer team, and sharing my expertise in Latin dance as an evening activity. I hold a Licenciatura in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language from Universidad Internacional UNINTER in Morelos México and a Master's in Latin American Studies from Cleveland State University. As an immigrant with 20 years of experience, I proudly represent the lively city of Cuernavaca, México. My unique contributions, learnings, and unlearnings at the Putney School have invited me to present at renowned World Languages conferences, including the distinguished Massachusetts Foreign Language Association 2018's "Best Workshop of State Conference." I am a co-founder of the influential Minnesota Council on Teaching Languages and Cultures 2020 "BIPOC/Immigrant World Language Educators strand" and a sought-after featured speaker at The Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages 2021 in NYC. My classroom insights have had a lasting impact, and my testimonies and experiences led me to serve as the keynote speaker at the Greater Washington DC Association of Teachers of Foreign Language 2021 Spring Conference, the 2023 Vermont Foreign Language Association Spring Conference, and the Keynote Speaker for the Western Massachusetts Seal of Biliteracy Awards 2023 Ceremony at UMass Amherst.

He absolutely LOVES collaborating and sharing ideas with educators, talking about bringing out the best in students and using the power of their personalities. Input, TPR, putting students in the driver's seat, spontaneous speech, building a sense of belonging in the classroom, and finding the most efficient ways to understand and reach students are big pieces of his approach to instruction.

She is a frequent presenter at world language conferences at the state, regional, and national levels and has received "Top 10" and "Best of..." accolades for her work there.

You can do it! Keep yourself organized that is. As the new school year gets underway Lisa McHargue doles out some tips and tricks for getting and staying organized so you can save time, avoid stress and find what you need when you need it. This is the perfect time of year to get started. Your future self with thank you.
Lisa McHargue is a former high school Spanish teacher turned online digital organizer. She taught Spanish for ten years, the last seven in a 1:1 school. She's a minimalist living her best life binge-reading fiction and helping teachers and online business owners take control of their digital chaos and create systems to keep it organized. When she's not geeking out about organization or minimalism, she's probably hanging out with her family or pretending to be a contestant on The Great British Baking Show.

Carolina Reyt self describes as an eternal learner. Luckily, learning to be a better teacher is a never ending process and that's what makes teaching fun. Listen as Carolina describes the learning circle of giving and receiving and how this helps her plan and deliver interesting classes where she and her students are continually challenging each other to try new things. Now we just need a report how the peanut butter and jelly sandwich was.
Bio
I was born and raised in Argentina. I loved studying English as a Foreign Language as a kid. I loved it so much that I decided to get my Bachelor's Degree in that subject. I did a post-graduate specialization in English Literature. I will always be grateful to my professors in Argentina. Their brilliance, deep knowledge of Language Acquisition and mentorship guide me until today.
Later on, I came to work in the US, in New Jersey. We decided to Texas and I did my Master of Arts in Spanish Literature and Linguistics. I have been working in Plano ISD for 16 years. I have taught all the levels of Spanish. I have given many professional development trainings. I have been very involved with the Curriculum Development team. I have met and worked with awesome teachers and leaders. The most important and impactful part of my job: my students, their love for learning my language and culture.

Marnina and Langauge Lounge host Michelle Olah offer practical tips and encouragement of how to get to 90%+ target language use and create a strong sense of community in our classrooms.
Bio
Marnina Falk taught Spanish for 9 years at Foreign Language Immersion and Culture Studies, a Detroit Public School. In Detroit, she helped write the Spanish I and II curriculum.
