Why the Belonging Lab?

The Belonging Lab is a professional learning and curriculum membership for world language and multilingual educators who want to center belonging, equity, and intercultural competence—without doing it all alone.

This is not just about what you teach. It’s about how you teach, who you center, and the impact you create.

As Teachers

 we have a responsibility to support and educate ALL learners. There are days where I feel burned out, not sure if I can continue to teach in the classroom, and feel like walking away. It is truly a heavy lift, yet one of the many aspects that keeps me going is knowing as I witness the growth in myself and my students, it encourages me to move forward!  

MORE IMPORTANTLY, the community of teachers and this community has continued to provide the support that we need in this hour!

I've made so many mistakes and misjudgments, and still do as a teacher. However, through taking risks, moving out of my comfort zone, reflecting, listening to valuable feedback, I have continued to learn the importance of transforming my classroom space when I put belonging, equity, and interculturality in the center of my practice. 

My mission

is to fully support you in the following areas:

~ advocacy

~belonging

~culturally responsive strategeis

If you have subscribed to or have supported my social media content, are involved in my Facebook Group, have purchased resources from me, worked alongside me, or have attended any of my workshops or keynotes, this is where you have the opportunity to receive even more on a monthly or yearly basis with an opportunity for ongoing support in the world language and/or multilingual classroom!

In this space

we ask any questions pertaining to challenges that we have encountered in our school communities, classrooms, and/or students, as well as share our progress, heartfelt stories, what we are doing in the classroom, and more!
