    ACTFL Voices Podcast - S1E1 - Cracking the Code - Simple Shifts to Student Engagement - feat Leslie Grahn

    In our inaugural episode of ACTFL Voices, we’re diving straight into one of the most pressing challenges in today’s language classroom: the engagement gap. From student work refusal to the quiet hum of disengagement, many educators are finding that the "old reliable" methods aren't quite clicking with Generation Z.  Join us as we sit down with renowned educator Leslie Grahn to unpack why traditional hooks are falling flat and how we can pivot our approach. Leslie shares her latest insights from the field, offering a fresh perspective on the Gen Z mindset.  _____________________ Bio Leslie Grahn has twenty-seven years of language teaching experience at the middle and high school levels and twelve years of experience at the central office level, most recently as Coordinator of World Languages for the Howard County Public School System in Maryland. Leslie is a frequent presenter at state, regional, and national conferences, specializing in best practices.
