It is with great sadness that we learned about the passing of our esteemed colleague Tomoko Nakano who served on CALEC’s Advisory Committee and translated Fabrice Jaumont’s The Bilingual Revolution in Japanese. Tomoko was School Principal at Brooklyn Nihongo Gakuen in New York. A fervent advocate of Japanese heritage language and dual-language education, she contributed to the success of New York’s first Japanese dual-language program at PS147 in Brooklyn.
