Michele Trujillo: Dual-Language Kindergarten Teacher and Artist Extraordinaire!

Michele Trujillo is the longest-serving kindergarten teacher in the dual-language program at Zia Elementary in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She joined the program in 2006. Since then, she has experienced various demographic changes in the neighborhood surrounding Zia. These changes have resulted in shifts in language knowledge, acquisition, and use in her classroom and in the school. We asked her about these shifts, as well as about her artistic work on behalf of the dual-language teaching community in New Mexico, the statewide dual-language teachers’ Facebook group she established some years ago, how she allocates language use in her classroom, and more.

Plus, language submersion can occur without actually getting wet.https://michele-trujillo-art.my.canva.site/ Send us Fan MailSupport the showContact us!Text: Click on Send us a Text Message in the episode view of your appInstagram & Facebook: @languagegoestoschoolEmail: [email protected]: https://languagegoestoschool.buzzsprout.com
