One of our student was able to find an artist with the same first and last name as his! Muchas gracias por la oportunidad.
Flagstaff Academy pulsera sales are going strong! After three days of sales, our Dragons have raised more than $1,000 for the The Pulsera Project, which is the equivalent of 18 months of schooling, 4 months of salaries, or half a house in Central America.
At the NSE, we're proud to be able to offer a range of diverse opportunities that can strengthen the bonds between ourselves and our educators, students, and partners. Together, we can advocate for language proficiency, improve communities, & promote Fair Trade practices both locally and internationally!
It's great to see Colleen Vallin, winner of the NSE's 2022 Teacher Travel Scholarship to Guatemala with our partner The Pulsera Project (pictured below), represented the Pulsera Project at the conference this past weekend!

This October 2022 Shout-Out goes to Señora Janete Waldorf, a teacher from Usher-Collier Heights Elementary in Atlanta Public Schools! ✨
Assistant Principal Pamela Hurt says that, "Ms. Janete A. Waldorf has been teaching twenty-five years at different grade levels in public and private institutions in the United States, Perú, and Venezuela... Ms. Waldorf has been working with Atlanta Public Schools at Usher-Collier Heights Elementary School for the last six years. She is an insightful, motivated bilingual educator with a passion for teaching language and appreciation of foreign cultures. She is confident in her abilities to guide her students at Usher-Collier Heights to grow in their knowledge, independent thinking, and self confidence in expressing themselves in a new language. As a result of her commitment and implementation of instructional best practices, Usher-Collier was only 1 of 3 schools in the state of Georgia, with scholars in grades two, three, and four, to compete in the National Spanish Challenge winning ribbons in Divisions A & B. Ms. Waldorf enjoys motivating young people to be contributors to their community as she prepares them to make their way in a competitive multicultural society."
Thank you, Señora Waldorf, for everything you do for your students!

NSE Updates:
Lingco Language Labs is now the primary host of the full suite of NSE exams (NSE, NPE, NSC, & NSA). Learn more on our website (link in bio)!
In conjunction with the changing of exam platforms, the NSE website has undergone a remodel to more comprehensively reflect our exams. Some links may not work due to these changes, and we appreciate your patience throughout this process. Furthermore, the NSE will offer periodic webinars to ease the transition period for our teachers and answer questions. These webinars (and/or the content therein) will also be made available via the NSE YouTube channel for those who are unable to attend live sessions.
Happy Friday!

This March 2022 NSE Shout-Out goes to our Teacher Scholarship Winner: Colleen Vallin, from Pioneer Ridge Middle School in Chaska, Minnesota!

“As a dedicated educator, avid traveler, and learner of languages I have experienced how intercultural exchange changes your perspective of the world. As a teacher I have worked hard to make sure all of my students have the opportunity to become active global citizens. The Pulsera Project has been a great resource to continue this mission of promoting global exchange, awareness, and service with my students… I would love to learn more about the artists and their communities, and the amazing work they are doing with the Pulsera Project so that I can share that experience with my students and my fellow educators.
This first-hand experience will allow me to become an even stronger advocate for the Pulsera Project. I would love to help create more authentic activities for my students and to share with my fellow educators through the Pulsera Project. I can already envision lessons on weaving, a digital walking tour of Antigua, interviews with community leaders, and so much more! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will enrich my learning, my teaching practice, and my own traveler's spirit.”
Thank you, Colleen, for everything that you do for your students. We are thrilled to offer you this amazing opportunity with the Pulsera Project this summer!!
