Introducing Our New Leaders!
Outreach, Liaison, and Advocacy (OLA) Leader for DCPS (Chiara Monticelli Dabney)
My name is Chiara Monticelli Dabney, I am from Napoli and moved to the US in 2007. I have been an Italian teacher throughout the DC area and started teaching for DCPS in 2012 at Hardy Middle School.
As the Outreach Liaison and Advocacy for DCPS my project will be to ensure the visibility of GWATFL within DCPS, as well as creating a collaborative space specific for DCPS teachers.
In the collaborative, DCPS teachers will meet, exchange perspectives and ideas on various topics, from proficiency to authentic resources, from racialized curriculum to equitable and just classrooms, from teacher burnout to self-care practices.
We will plan on meeting remotely on a monthly basis, and having the opportunity to meet in person during the GWATFL conference as well as for a possible happy hour.
