Testimonials
So empowering! Professors, literacy experts, foreign language teachers, and school leaders all listening to multilingual high school students and their teachers.
Thank you, Dr. Ahlam Bazzi, for the outstanding Teachers of Multilingual Learners Conference and the amazing Iftar Dinner Program today! This was truly one of the best educational events I’ve been part of in our community—certainly the best in celebrating multilingual education and the incredible educators from diverse backgrounds who make this journey so meaningful. I wholeheartedly appreciate you, Ms. Summer Turfe, and the entire Alia Foundation team for your time, dedication, and hard work. Your efforts are truly inspiring!
Our team was able to draft the disciplinary literacy implementation plan for our next unit, we left so motivated.
Students will be so excited to use the digital media resources provided through the Michigan Learning Channel partnership and I can't wait to take advantage of the free coaching!
What an amazing day for our community! Dr. Ahlam Bazzi and Summer Turfe knocked it out of the park!!! Their event was a massive success and the impact they are making is heartwarming.
As a student teacher, I really valued workshopping with seasoned educators. My conference participation was both validating and inspiring. I am really looking forward to the next one.
