Just wanted to say how grateful and appreciative I am that I was able to be a part of La Familia Loca PLC this year. The flexible and
supportive format made it unstressful yet so inspirational. The community has helped me grow as a language acquisition teacher and find moments of joy in my classes while being faced with the daily challenging behaviors. Thank you for all your dedication to providing such support and such creative ideas.

Thank you for making me feel part of your community!!!! I love your personal videos and the sample videos on how to do the activities. I totally get that feeling of community.

I couldn’t choose only one benefit as my favorite because I’m loving all of them. This is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU so much for all your hard work!

Natalia

I love this familia SO much. It has saved me on days that I feel like I am failing horribly as a teacher. It gives me hope when I have little. It strengthens me when I feel strong or weak. I love logging into all meetings and activities. This has changed my personal and professional life.

6THANK YOU, Annabelle, for being so open, honest, and REAL with us!! You’re never afraid to let your emotions and passions show, and that is a very healthy example for us! Teaching is an emotional vocation because teachers
care so deeply! We should all feel safe, in this community, to be real with one another. You’re a great role model for us!!

Barbara

Thank you thank you thank you! The FL leadership team + community have been an amazing support this year. When I joined in the fall I was having doubts about returning to the classroom next year, but I can definitely say this group played a role in helping me stay in the profession.
