Essential Spanish for Educators |
|||
EDZU 9010 (3 credits / 45 hours) | |||
Did you know that more than 37 million people in the United States speak Spanish? In fact, Spanish is currently the fastest growing non–English language in the United States. It's not far of a stretch to think that all educators will most likely encounter Spanish-speaking students and families at some point throughout their career. From New Mexico to Nebraska to New Hampshire, virtually every school and every classroom contains English language learners - but not all teachers and administrators have the background to meet these students' needs effectively. If you don’t interact with Spanish-speaking people on a regular basis, the language barrier may seem intimidating. Support your students' success by emphasizing family engagement through creative and interactive strategies. This course is specifically designed for teacher, administrators, support and counselors to communicate and understand Spanish speaking families. Being able to communicate with students and families in Spanish helps breaks down barriers and welcomes families into the school and into their child’s education. Building that relationship where students, teachers and families are all invested in the student’s learning will only have positive impacts on a student’s success. This course will provide you with resources and links to communicate with students and parents of Spanish speaking families. You will learn vocabulary that covers every aspect of a student’s school career as well as parent communication for report cards and conferences. |
