During my professional career as a teacher of over 20 years, I was able to relate and connect with students based on my own experience.
Being a language learner has given me the opportunity to experience first-hand the process of learning another language. Additive bilingualism is when we give students the opportunity to develop their first language while they’re learning an additional language. The energy, dedication, and talent within our MPS community is vast and their possibilities are truly endless.ĭistrict Program Facilitator, 6-12 Dual Language has being bilingual impacted your life?īilingualism is an additive approach. I love our MPS Dual Language programs because they embody cultural and linguistic sustainability. Why do you love our MPS dual language programs? As kids, w e were always asked, “W hat can you do to make it better?” I come from a family of teachers, rooted in values of education and service. It is hard to name just one! For me personally, I think about my family. What education have you received that has prepared you for this role? Of my experiences, I have come to admire the strength, determination and perseverance it takes to become fully bilingual not only in language but also in navigating cultural systems and structures that are different from your own. Unlike my esteemed colleagues within Multilingual and our Dual Language sites, I would categorize myself as an emergent bilingual someone who is at the beginning stages of her slow and steady bilingual journey.
