As an English learner in 2nd grade, Dr. Oganes faced challenges being the only immigrant student in her classroom. She often was excluded from instruction because she did not understand English. Working with English learners became a personal mission and she has developed a passion and expertise advocating for equitable practice for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
