Laura Jersild Pardo ’90
Laura Jersild Pardo ’90 joined the Quaker Matters Podcast.
“It prepares you to be a better citizen of the world, both going out into the world and receiving people into your own world who might not speak English. I also think it gives kids a sense that there is more than one normal in the world; there is more than one way to think about something because language has a big effect on how we perceive the world.”
Laura Jersild Pardo ’90, who serves as a middle school Spanish teacher at WFS, joined the Quaker Matters Podcast. In this episode, Laura discusses the importance of teaching Language at the middle school level, how she uses movement in the classroom each day to engage students, and what the future of Wilmington Friends looks like. Enjoy!
