I am beyond excited to announce that Leading for Proficiency is officially HERE and available for purchase! 🎉

After years of leading world language programs and working with language leaders across the country, I wrote the book I wish I'd had when I started—a practical, comprehensive guide to leading with clarity and confidence.

This book walks you through defining your role as an instructional leader, building vision and articulating your program, championing equity and access, supporting and evaluating language teachers, navigating the shift from traditional to proficiency-based, and making your case to administrators and school boards—all with real-world strategies, research-based frameworks, and tools you can use immediately.
