Spanish S.W.A.G. Teacher Symposium 2023

If you are a Spanish Language Educator that serves Black American Students, whether in an urban, suburban or in a rural school community, then Spanish S.W.A.G. Teacher Symposium 2023 is a professional learning experience just for you!

​

In this symposium, we will collectively learn, laugh and grow together as we:

• discover how to cultivate a classroom culture of feedback for increasing near-native fluency in the target language;
• gain practical ways to support language learners in processing new information that leads to deeper understanding and improved academic performance;
• practice mindfulness strategies for work/life balance;
• engage in a hands-on immersive experience that models the ways you can use language to complement and support other content areas in impactful ways using African-centered approaches that benefit ALL students; and
• experience a cultural fusion of activities made just for Spanish Language Educators!
