Liz Kaulard: 2011 Teacher of Excellence Award Winner

When Jürgen Klinsmann comes to your school, spends a couple of hours coaching soccer players, allows students to interview him, and talks about the importance of learning foreign languages, it makes a big impression. There is coverage in The Orange County Register, Los Angeles Times, Die Welt, and on German radio program ARD Hörfunk. The community is talking and thinking, “Soccer is fun, and German is a language I’d like to be learning.”
