It was delightful to meet listeners at #ACTFL25! We'll have a semester wrap up episode next week that doesn't touch on ACTFL (we had to record it early, holidays, ya know), and then we'll be looking forward to new episodes in the new year.

What topics would you like to learn more about and discuss?

If you're heading to #ACTFL25, I hope to see you there! In the podcast, I give the wrong time for my ACTFL presentation. I'll be presenting with Esme Mora and Kristi Lentz of @languageboard.bsky.social on Friday at 4:30 in room 213. Our topic: Curating Diverse and Inclusive Classroom Libraries.
