Upper School Modern Language Department Chair and French teacher Ben Tinsley has been invited to be the keynote speaker for the Paris Embassy/ACTFL Conference in Chicago this year! He is eager to share his ideas and vision for how French language instruction can be improved. Tinsley became connected to this event through another conference for which he was the keynote speaker and featured workshop presenter; members of the embassy were in attendance. 

"I am very proud to have been asked to do numerous addresses and workshops at state, regional, and national events for world language teachers,” Tinsley said. “It is an honor to be part of the embassy and to be able to share the work I do with so many enthusiastic and committed educators all over North America. There are tremendous variations and developments happening, and I am extremely thankful to think I have been part of even a tiny bit of it."
