YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Dana Gastich French
I have spent the past two decades in education, learning and serving as an ESL and bilingual teacher, instructional coach and district-level administrator. I am truly in my joy when working with educators to hone their craft! I believe that multilingualism is the gold standard for education. Multilingual learners are not students in need of fixing but rather they are a group of learners who are positioned to contribute greatly to society if our pedagogy, curricula and practices reflect a multilingual norm. By updating our practices to reflect a global society, we leverage the assets of MLLs, deepen learning and engagement for students and educators, and contribute to a greater humanity.
