We’ll build on the basics of lesson planning for the Spanish classroom, but with increased focus on “High Leverage Teaching Practices” regarding teaching content, culture, interpersonal communication, grammar structures, usage of authentic texts, and providing feedback, all with the aim of guiding students from the novice level proficiency into the intermediate levels and beyond. This strand is targeted towards Spanish teachers and will be conducted in Spanish. As part of our collaboration with Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), a special feature of this strand is topical presentations for every session by Stanford-affiliated professors.Prerequisite: Stand A or equivalent highly recommended.
What do you need for this strand? Teaching or having an interest in the Spanish for Heritage Learners courses or AP Spanish Language, or be interested on integrating Heritage Learners in a traditional course. You also need a foundation on how to lesson plan.
