Join Us for a Virtual Celebration of Innovation and Impact in Language Education! @actfl @LangConnectsFdn We're excited to invite you to a virtual panel discussion co-hosted by Klett World Languages and the Language Connects Foundation (LCF). Step into a world of creativity and sustainability as we shine a spotlight on the winners of the 2023 LCF/Klett Award for Sustainable Development Education in the World Language Classroom. Meet the Champions of Change: - Heidi Lechner, Libertyville High School (IL) - Andrea Martin, Fairfax County Public Schools (VA) - Beatrix Preusse-Burr, Fairfax County Public Schools (VA) These educators are trailblazers, leading the way in integrating sustainability into language education. Their stories are not just about teaching languages but about nurturing a generation of global citizens who care deeply about our future. Our discussion will be led by Dr. Megan Ferry, an expert in the field of language education and sustainability. With her guidance, we'll explore how these award-winning approaches are shaping the future of language learning. 🔗 eventbrite.com/e/sustainable-…
