Celebrating Hispanic Cultures through Bilingual Education with Angela Fanjul, Dual Immersion Academy

Join today's conversation with Angela Fanjul, Director of Dual Immersion Academy in Salt Lake City, UT. We discuss how a variety of Hispanic cultures (teachers and students from many different Spanish-speaking countries) come together to work toward the common goal of excellent education and proficiency in two languages. We talk about their immersion model (different from many district school programs) and supports they offer to help all students and families (97% of the staff is bilingual). 

You will want to join the Feria de las Culturas (Cultural Fair) in October or visit Espanolandia in the spring! Or start watching telenovelas from Spain. Listen in to be in the know!
