Dr. Sarah Campbell
I am a dedicated educator specializing in English as a New Language and Spanish as a World Language. My teaching experience spans various settings and age groups, including elementary, middle, high school, and adult learners. I am committed to helping fellow educators of all content areas refine their instructional methods and teaching strategies to make instruction and learning environments more accessible for language learners. I believe every educator deserves
practical tools and strategies to support diverse classrooms, and I strive to create an engaging, supportive space where adult learners can confidently grow in their teaching practice.
