​Notes from the President
I am honored to serve my second non-consecutive term as VOWLS President.  The networking and friendships I developed through VOWLS sustained and supported me for the past eight years in my role as Coordinator of K-12 World Languages for Virginia Beach City Public Schools.  VOWLS is the non-judgmental space where we can pose questions to colleagues as we navigate issues in the field, from developing thematic unit curricula to adopting textbooks.  As we confront issues with staffing or coaching teachers in contexts as varied as Elementary Dual Language Immersion, AP or IB, the experience and expertise of VOWLS' members is here to guide and encourage you.                                                       ~Jen Carson
