Today on the podcast, we sit down with Carmen Campos, educator, puppeteer, and lifelong advocate for language learning. Carmen shares her story of growing up on Long Island, how she first found her calling as a teacher, and the journey that led her through decades of classroom experience and leadership roles in language education.Carmen continues to inspire learners of all ages through her work in puppetry, an art form she discovered as a powerful tool for engaging students and bringing language to life. She walks us through her creative process, from imagining stories and lessons to designing and building each puppet with care and intention.We talk about what she learned from her years in public and independent schools, how her administrative roles shaped her understanding of language instruction, and what she sees as the most pressing challenges in education today. And as always, we end with a look toward the future of storytelling, of language, and of the North Fork community she calls home.
