Hi! My name is Alla Polatty and I am a Multilingual Education (formerly ESOL) Instructional Coach in Greenwood School District 50. I work with teachers and multilingual students throughout our district. I speak several languages and advocate for the multilingualism in our community. I was an English Language Learner myself at one time. Now, I am honored to be teaching students and teachers from many different countries. Bilingualism is a wonderful asset for their future. Continue to nurture your heritage language and culture! We value and appreciate these assets your children bring to our school and community!

My husband and I are raising two children. I like to share my languages and culture with them. We like to travel and explore different places in the world.
