C&I‘s Second Languages and Cultures Initial Licensure Student Deqa Muhidin, dressed in traditional Hmong clothing, celebrates the Hmong New Year at the Phalen Lake Hmong Studies Magnet School where she did her Elementary ESL student teaching.
“They have an excellent Hmong Studies curriculum. Students at Phalen have the opportunity to explore the Hmong culture, traditions and language… I’ve to admit, they have the best culturally relevant pedagogy I’ve ever seen.”
The Phalen Lake Hmong Studies Magnet is part of the St. Paul Public School District, a TERI Partner. Visit their Hmong Studies page to find out more about their program. Read more about TERI here for more information on the TERI Partner Network.
