We’re excited to celebrate a new partnership between the Marsal Family School of Education ELD Program and Puentes Multilingual School! This spring, 29 teaching interns are completing clinical experiences in this bilingual learning community while working toward the Michigan Department of Education PK–12 English as a Second Language endorsement. Through classroom collaboration, small-group support, and learning alongside multilingual students and educators, interns are deepening their practice in powerful and meaningful ways.

We are so grateful to the Puentes community for welcoming our interns and helping prepare the next generation of teachers for multilingual and bilingual classrooms. 💙💛
