A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

In our rapidly evolving world, marked by technological advancements, global connectivity, and increased travel opportunities, the significance of learning Spanish and engaging in AP Spanish Language and Culture classes has never been more pronounced. Beyond mere vacation phrasebooks, today's students are recognizing the imperative to communicate proficiently in languages beyond English. Particularly in the United States, the role of the Spanish language holds a unique prominence, woven into the fabric of our multicultural society. In our AP Spanish classrooms, we hold the power to equip our students for a future that necessitates cross-cultural competence.

With over three decades experience teaching Spanish in my native Colombia and in the United States, across middle, high school, and college levels, I bring a wealth of insights to share with you at this one-day seminar. I understand the nuanced challenges we face, and I am committed to helping you navigate them effectively and with ease. The techniques and resources I've honed over the years are at your disposal, and readily available to you in the comprehensive digital resource handbook you'll receive at the seminar. As educators, the more we collaborate and share, the more profoundly we impact our students' learning journeys. Plan to leave this interactive day of learning with dozens of actionable strategies and practical applications you can use immediately in your AP Spanish classroom.

I extend a sincere invitation for you to join me and your AP Spanish colleagues at this seminar. It promises to be a valuable experience for AP Spanish teachers, offering practical tools, inspirational strategies, and a supportive network of like-minded AP Spanish educators.
