Intensive Spanish for Educators is specifically
designed to give teachers, principals, social workers, counselors
and all other personnel working in a school or district, the
opportunity to better communicate with Latino students and their
families in Spanish. Focus is put not only on the language aspect,
but creating a better cultural understanding of Latino students
and their families living i the United States. In addition to
learning academic Spanish, educators will learn popular expressions
used by their students and families. Opportunities to visit
schools in rural and urban settings will be included in the
experience.
We are aware that learning Spanish in the
United States can be difficult due to the heavy workload that
most school personnel carry. With a total immersion approach,
the learning process can be accelerated as well as enlightening
as you experience the Spanish culture firsthand.
If you can not take all the courses, you are
very welcome to apply for two weeks.
