About the Course

THIS CLASS IS NOT LIMITED TO TEACHERS; ALL ARE WELCOME!

This course is for anyone who interacts with native Spanish-speaking students and/or their families. It is a comprehensive class for beginners or for students who took Spanish a while ago and need a good review. Students will practice language relevant to their work in safe, supported conversation with peers. In addition to providing tools for communicating with students in their native language, instruction will be embedded with linguistic and cultural factors that can maximize academic access for ELLs and enhance teachers’ communication with their students’ families.

Students who are already conversant in the Spanish present tense should consider the Level 2 class, which covers more advanced language structures and provides extensive conversational practice.

Participants in this course will be required to attend IN-PERSON classes at the Boulder Valley Education Association office.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • Accurately decode Spanish text, using correct pronunciation and accentuation.
  • Converse with a partner in Spanish about a variety of personally relevant topics, demonstrating listening comprehension and accurately conveying meaning.
  • Speak and write in grammatically correct sentences referring to actions in the present, past and future.
  • Prepare and present a lesson in Spanish that is appropriate for teaching to a student or students’ family member.
  • Explain linguistic and cultural differences that will help them better accommodate and communicate with their native Spanish-speaking students and their families.
  • Grade(s): Kindergarten 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade Elementary K-5 Secondary 6-12

Facilitator

Rochelle Loughry

As a second language learner of Spanish, I know how hard it can be to develop comfort and fluency. I also know what helped me to overcome my fear of speaking and hone my skills. I bring that understanding and empathy to every class, so I can help students develop the confidence they need to utilize what they know.

I hold an MA in Bilingual Education and have lived, studied and taught in Spain and the Dominican Republic. I recently retired after 30 years of teaching for the Boulder Valley School District at Escuela Bilingüe Pioneer.
