Emily Chaskelson studied journalism as an undergraduate, honing her observation skills. So, when she noticed the difficulties created by the language barrier between Spanish speakers and English speakers in Chicago, she became motivated to bridging the gap. 

Fast forward and Emily has been teaching multilingual learners in public schools for 18 years, most recently in North Carolina. In this episode of the Front of the Class podcast, she discusses the lessons she’s learned through almost two decades working in education, including how student buy-in can change a learning environment for the better, strategies for teachers facing challenges in the classroom, and why it’s best for teachers not to be friends with their students immediately.
