A Young, Gay Educator's Quest to Revolutionize the Field of Education

RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Jan. 26, 2023 - PRLog -- While other countries have recognized the importance of foreign language education in preparing their youth for the global marketplace and implemented funding and policies to support it, the United States lags behind in this area. Limited language education in the US puts American students at a disadvantage in a global society where multilingualism is key for effective cross-cultural communication. The lack of emphasis on language education in the US education system may mean that students miss out on the many benefits that come from being multilingual, such as increased cognitive development, cultural competence, and more career opportunities.

Sean Kreyling (he/him/él), Founder and CEO of Language Learning Network (LLN) and Reimagine Education Group (REG), is working to meet the ever-increasing need for meaningful and engaging language education in schools and services aimed at diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), social-emotional learning (SEL), and edtech. This openly gay entrepreneur started his innovative work in education at only 18 and has not stopped since.

In a field that is often associated with 40-plus, mostly white women, Sean Kreyling is a breath of fresh air. As a young, gay educator in his late 20s, he is breaking barriers, challenging conventions in the field of education, and pushing for the positive change that the education system needs. The past few years have been a challenging time for educators, as the need to transition to online learning during the pandemic has brought about its own set of obstacles. To make matters worse, the emotional fallout of issues like the murder of George Floyd has left many educators struggling to support their students and communities. Despite these challenges, Sean has risen to the occasion. He is a firm believer that education should be accessible to all, regardless of one's background or identity. He has made it his mission to break down barriers and create an inclusive learning environment where students feel supported and have a sense of belonging.
