BCPS Shines: Director of Bilingual/ESOL Department Named Mujer de Impacto in Education 2022
Congratulations to Victoria Saldala, Director of the Bilingual/ESOL Department, on being recognized as Mujer de Impacto (Woman of Impact) in Education 2022 by Mujeres Latinas Impulsando Mujeres Latinas, Inc. Saldala, as well as four other honorees in various categories, were recognized during an awards ceremony held on November 30, 2022. Saldala was highlighted for her work and accomplishments in advocating for the needs of English Language Learners – not only in schools but also as they and their families integrate into the community – throughout her 17 years with the District.
As part of the recognition, Saldala was interviewed regarding her personal journey after her family arrived in the United States from Cuba, and she shared this advice: “I encourage young women to preserve their cultural identity because it is the foundation of their values and to never stop learning. Pursue professional development and find a role model who can provide mentorship and guidance.”
