Supporting Young Learners Grant
Supporting Young Learners Grant
Tyler Tolman, Franklin, Tennessee
Tyler Tolman is a 2023 recipient of the NCLG Supporting Young Learners grant! He currently teaches middle school French and Spanish and is also skilled in Italian and Thai. Due to student enrollment patterns and staffing needs, his school has asked him to pursue an intensive study of Latin throughout the summer to achieve an acceptable proficiency to facilitate an Exploratory Latin course next fall. As a language educator, he focuses on creating content-based lessons and an immersive learning environment. To teach this new course successfully, he also will be studying Roman and Greek history, culture, and mythology to fuel his curriculum design. He’s excited about building his Latin proficiency and hopes to stimulate student interest in Latin and grow a strong future program. Tyler also looks forward to connecting with a wide network of classical language educators within the NCLG and the ACL.
We look forward to meeting Tyler! Let’s reach out to support a new colleague!
DEI Outreach Grant
DEI Outreach Grant
Amy White, Ellington, Connecticut
Amy White is a 2023 recipient of NCLG's new DEI Outreach Grant! She has been accepted as a participant at The Forte Academy's Women Latinists program in Florence, Italy, this summer. She plans to use the NCLG grant funds to help offset costs to travel and attend. Although she has been teaching Latin for 28 years, her experience reading women Latinists is extremely limited. This program will offer her the opportunity to hone her reading skills while also discovering new female authors. “My students will benefit, because finally female authors will be a part of our curriculum!” Amy is excited to join other participants who, as the course description states, “will study women’s writing in Latin, bringing language to life in the real spaces where women wrote Latin, through hands-on workshops and in situ readings at sites of special importance.” There will also be a wide range of authors from antiquity up to the early modern period which will enable her to offer more extensive texts in her curriculum.
At the NCLG, we support her efforts and wish her every success!
Rising Classicists Spotlight
Rising Classicists Spotlight
We have released a new type of Spotlight - one focused on students. This NCLG Spotlight on Rising Classicists features three young high school students who each found a unique path to connect with Classical studies on a deeper level. Sophia He took on an internship with Lupercal and developed a webpage resource on women writers. Alexander Lee organized several summer classes in spoken Latin involving everything from games to cooking classes. Samuel Chen went deep into researching the Roman economy over time and applied modern analytic techniques to better understand the reality of trends during the empire.
