A message from
Course Leader and Director,
Ashley Nutt...
I have seen firsthand how teachers frequently feel overwhelmed and unprepared when it comes to connecting with their Spanish-speaking students, despite their sincere desire to do so. I've seen teachers struggle with pronouncing student names and feel discouraged about how to express care and connection.
Drawing from my research on teachers' perceptions of valuable professional development, I have created a workshop that merges my passion for language learning with a deep commitment to teacher growth and classroom inclusivity.
​
This professional development session is designed to equip teachers with practical language tools that will build their confidence and empower them to have meaningful and impactful interactions with their Spanish-speaking students.Teachers will leave ready to make a real difference in their classroom and the lives of their students!
