Description

We are so excited to share our conversation with Molly Stovall Hegwood, Executive Director of English Learners for Metro Nashville Public Schools. We talk about how diverse Nashville is and what librarians can do to support all learners not only as they learn English, but also in their native language. It is important libraries and librarians are culturally responsive to all students. Curious about a student’s background? Just ask your students and build those relationships. Molly can be reached on Twitter @Molly_Stov or @MNPS_EL
