Maya Valencia Goodall Leading Literacy

On this episode of Leading Literacy, we have an inspiring conversation with Maya Goodall.  Maya is an educator, entrepreneur, and curriculum developer dedicated to helping people become bilingual.  She’s the founder of Lingual Learning, a language learning company which she ultimately sold to Rosetta Stone where she developed Rosetta English, which has recently been renamed as Lexia English.  We spent time talking with Maya about oral language development and the role it plays in structured literacy.  You guys, this is one of those conversations where an amazing, little gold nugget of wisdom appears and we’re so excited to share with you.  Maya is such a gentle soul and so dedicated to supporting the literacy needs of all learners.  Enjoy this episode!
Be sure to check out these resources Maya mentioned in this episode.  She has partnered with Collaborative Classroom to create OL&LA: Online Language & Literacy Academy and CORE Learning.  Both are phenomenal sources to support our multilingual learners.
