Today’s guest is Liz Peters.  Liz is a National Board Certified French teacher at Platteville High School in Platteville, Wisconsin.  She is also the International Club and Key Club advisor and serves as a mentor for other World Language teachers.

In our conversation, Liz shares how her school has kept on the cutting edge of diversity and equity work in a rural community and how she prioritizes engaging students with a range of culturally diverse voices.  She talks about her approach and inspiration in immersing students in French from day one and how and why she has created a French curriculum from scratch.  She also discusses the TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) approach to teaching language that she has recently embedded with her students.
