A close family friend of mine was the Program Director for this nonprofit! I've attached one of the videos he's made while holding that role. He is currently studying Applied Linguistics at the University of Fairbanks! ( Yes he lives on campus too! He has no plans on coming home back to Sewell, NJ anytime soon.

Contrary to popular assumption, language plays a critical role not just in reading and writing, but in learning mathematics as well."

"Relate a concept to a personal experience a student has had in the past; that way they will have a greater chance of understanding the information taught. Try to introduce a concept by relating it to something from their country. For example, I have a student who came from Holland and I always ask her what they call a certain word in Dutch." -Pat Roth ]]> 2022-11-15 19:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/katiesmith97/6ebsnj36p4ewt6c6/wish/2385435575 katiesmith97 https://padlet.com/katiesmith97/6ebsnj36p4ewt6c6/wish/2385451340 2022-11-15 19:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/katiesmith97/6ebsnj36p4ewt6c6/wish/2385451340 katiesmith97 https://padlet.com/katiesmith97/6ebsnj36p4ewt6c6/wish/2385530945 "Math is inquiry, reasoning, and interacting.
