Several area teachers have been recognized by the Pennsylvania State Modern Language Association as Global Educators.
The recognition is given to advisers who support the PSMLA Global Scholars program in their schools to lead Global Scholars graduates in two consecutive years with the PSMLA Global Educator Certificate. This year, 17 world language educators in Pennsylvania received the designation. Of those, four work in Westmoreland County school districts, and six are staffers in Allegheny County districts.
In Westmoreland, they are Danielle Llerena at Norwin High School, Erica Shafran at Hempfield Area High School, Kerrie Tonet-Berlin at Franklin Regional High School and Katie Zalewski at Greater Latrobe High School.
