Kaleigh

Thank you for your interest in my portfolio! My name is Kaleigh Doan, and I pride myself on being both an inspired educator and a lifelong learner.
 
I graduated with the highest honors from Hope College in 2016 with majors in French Secondary Education and English Secondary Education. Without a doubt, the most influential part of my undergraduate education was the semester that I spent studying abroad in Nantes, France. In Nantes, I fell in love with the French language and culture; I suddenly knew that my life would never be the same. A few years later, I spent my first school-year post-grad living in Montpellier, France, where I worked at Lycée Jules Guesde as an English Language Teaching Assistant through the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF). 
 
Currently, I live in northern Virginia outside of Washington, D.C., where I teach French at a diverse public high school. In 2018, I was honored to receive Prince William County Public School’s Outstanding Secondary New Teacher of the Year award. In addition to teaching multiple levels of French, I have also represented my department on our school’s technology team, welcomed a student-teacher into my classroom, chaperoned an exchange trip to France, and served as the sponsor for the French Club and Girl Up women’s empowerment club.

​

In May 2021, I will graduate from the Master of Arts in Foreign Language Teaching program at Michigan State University. Through this program, I have explored research-based best practices in modern foreign language teaching; this portfolio features much of my work from my master’s degree.
