Motherhood and the necessity for InventionKeynote Speaker - Rhonda Broussard, Founder, President St. Louis Language Immersion Schools, Inc.
Rhonda Broussard has taught French in public schools in New York City, Connecticut, California and St. Louis
and has earned National Board Certification, the most prestigious teaching credential in the United States. Growing up in Louisiana, she was inspired by the idea of the francophone world and has dedicated herself to continuing to explore the connections between francophone regions. As a result, in addition to learning French since childhood, she has studied and conducted research in metropolitan France, Cameroon and Martinique. Rhonda began her education reform career as a teenage staff member with the Breakthrough Collaborative in New Orleans, Kansas City and San Francisco. Rhonda is the founder of St. Louis Language Immersion Schools (SLLIS), a charter management organization that operates The French School, The Spanish School and The Chinese School and will eventually provide Missouri’s first K-12 immersion and International Baccalaureate education continuum. Under Rhonda’s direction SLLIS is developing future elementary campuses with language immersion in Japanese, Arabic and other lesser commonly taught languages to provide our communities with even greater niche academic skills.
