In ep 105, Stacey shares the second half of a conversation she recently had with two remarkable language teachers. Mandy Manning is the 2018 National Teacher of the Year. She teaches new immigrant and refugee high school students learning English in Spokane, Washington. Amy Andersen teaches American Sign Language to hearing students at a high school in Ocean City, New Jersey and was one of the finalists for the 2018 National Teacher of the Year. In this second half of a two-part series, Mandy and Amy tell stories that illustrate how advocacy and policy intersect with their work as language teachers.
