Hello! ¡Hola! Bonjour! Bonjou! Lenwo! My name is Lydia Ethridge, and I am a teacher for English learners at Liberty Elementary. I joined CMCSS in 2023 after four years teaching English learners in Metro Nashville Public Schools. I am deeply passionate about working with English learners and their families, especially students and families who are new to the US. I myself am a multilingual learner; I speak French as well as Spanish (más o menos). I actually completed part of university in France, so I know that feeling of navigating school in an additional language. I earned my M.Ed. in Instructional Practice for English Learners from Lipscomb University in 2020. I am excited to work with your student this year!
