Dr. Cardona, a Puerto Rican and a native Spanish speaker, was himself an English language learner when he entered public school in Connecticut. He has been an elementary school teacher, a principal and a university professor. With a masters degree in Bilingual and Bicultural education (as well as an EdD), he would be an articulate and understanding advocate for English language learners and bilingual education.

Please tune in!
