86. Structural Competency with Peggy Malec

What is structural competency? Hint: It's not about teaching grammar. It's about what is and isn't culture. Listen to this week's episode of the Language Lounge and come away with a new way to address culture with your students; what shapes our own culture and fostering a respectful curiosity about why certain cultural practices exist in our own communities and others. Bio Peggy Malec began her education career teaching English to adults in 2011. Since then, she has taught both Spanish and English in every grade level. She has a Master of Arts in Spanish from Middlebury College and is currently teaching middle school Spanish at Valley Catholic Middle School. As the Director of Community Development, she has founded and led an advisory program for the entire school community.
