Classroom Teacher of the Month – May 2023

At Meg Languages, the success of our World Language and Culture Program relies on the enthusiasm and support of our partner classroom teachers. We want to celebrate those individuals who go above and beyond in ensuring the effectiveness of our program and encouraging students to think globally.

This month, our Teacher of the Month honoree is Loreta Dagg from St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, CONCORD! We asked Loreta a few questions about her experience with our program and her personal background.
