Andrea Bitner reminds us that “no one reaches success alone.” In this episode, I sit down with Andrea Bitner, Carly Spina, and Viana Armstrong and we discuss how they engage families of multilingual learners. These leaders share success stories, mistakes, and advice. I promise you will leave this episode with at least one new idea to share with your colleagues or implement in your own work. There were a few times that my mind was blown.
