from Pamela Parks

Pamela Parks is the World Languages Department Chair at Cedarcrest High School in beautiful Washington State. She teaches French, Spanish, Japanese, and is very involved in the Duolingo Educator’s Network. She also has a book coming out soon, The Sink in the Kitchen: An Eclectic Approach to Teaching Language. “Madame Sensei,” as she is known to her students, turned to Pixton to give her students another way to express themselves as they are learning language. During our Remote Teaching adventure, Pixton became her go-to for most summative assessments.
