Full house for the district Karen New Year celebration. At the event, the Karen community honored some of our SPPS district staff for our work to help launch the Karen language program. It's such an honor to be a part of their incredible and inspiring journey #langchat #earlylang #heritagelang

So honored to share our work from St. Paul Public Schools in MN around the development of our #heritagelang programs in Karen and Somali. It takes a village, and we are so grateful for our community partnerships that have made this work happen. Thank you #NADSFL24 for the opportunity! #ACTFL24

Today's the day! Come see our #ACTFL24 session at 4:30pm to hear more about how to identify elements of intercultural communication, evaluate it, and have students self-assess. Hope to see you there! #langchat #heritagelang #earlylang
