ESOL Coordinator and Teacher
was awarded the English to Speakers of Other Languages Teacher of the Year by the Educators for Multilingual Maine (EMME) on March 8, 2024.
“The last two years have been the most incredible and fulfilling years of my career. As many of you know, South Portland welcomed hundreds of new multilingual students and families in a short time. I had the honor of supporting our district as we developed a multilingual intake and orientation process, hired multilingual specialists, expanded our ESOL programming, and doubled the size of our ESOL team. I’m proud of these accomplishments and want to thank our South Portland administration and teachers who have continued to embrace opportunities for growth.”
