I developed Texas Language Leaders think tank and leadership cohort from Region 10 with the purpose of opening access to high quality professional learning to everyone in the state. When all World Language educators think and learn together, we will move the needle on student language proficiency. In the photo, I'm with the amazing WL team in Crandall ISD. Google map it! They are a small but mighty department!]]> 2023-06-07 19:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/meredith_clark1/iwqsgwm0igjci7lp/wish/2617438557 ajacosta10_1 https://padlet.com/meredith_clark1/iwqsgwm0igjci7lp/wish/2620475708 I hope you are having a great summer so far. I am a high school Spanish teacher in Prosper ISD and will start my 20th year next year. I look forward to being in the Cohort with each of you and learning from everyone. ]]> 2023-06-12 00:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/meredith_clark1/iwqsgwm0igjci7lp/wish/2620475708 mcorvison https://padlet.com/meredith_clark1/iwqsgwm0igjci7lp/wish/2621426788 I am super excited to begin this new learning journey with you.

LOL
I hope everyone if having a wonderful summer!
My name is Ana, I am from Spain and I have been an educator for the last 26 years.  After being a teacher in Madrid for 17 years we took our family of seven and move to Texas because we believe we are all citizens of this amazing world and languages open all doors.  
I am really excited to be part of this group and learn from you all.
