Sandra Campbell and Karina Echeverry

Campbell’s and Echeverry’s innovative teaching idea, “Enhanced Dual Immersion,” focuses on helping the students at Horizon Elementary become proficient in a second language. There can often be many challenges to learning a new language, even more so when teaching young children. To help combat this obstacle, Campbell and Echeverry plan to leverage a wireless microphone system with speakers to use in the classroom to help the students stay focused. With the Voya grant, the team will purchase the necessary tools to create teaching strategies that will help the students develop the ability to read, write, speak, and listen in another language.
