Spanish for Teachers: Classroom Management Series Workshop – (Manejo de Aula)
This is a Spanish for teachers course focusing on the Spanish vocabulary, grammar and phrases you need to manage your classroom in Spanish!
You have a huge task… Making sure all students, parents and guardians are on the same page! It’s even harder to do in Spanish!
In this “Manejo de Aula” or classroom management course, I guarantee your effort in learning how to communicate in Spanish will bring you many steps closer to achieving stronger educational partnerships and student’s overall success in school.
In this course, You will learn how to communicate effectively about these three common topics:
- Communicate classroom expectations in Spanish
- Learn to manage your classroom in Spanish by learning how to give common school day instructions such as whole class directions, group work, turning in homework, beginning of the class systems and routine, etc.
- Learn how to talk about positive and negative students behaviors in Spanish by learning key verbs and actions
This course focuses on learning real-life, relevant Spanish that is needed in order to manage the classroom and maintain communication with parents/guardians. The emphasis of this course is to help educators communicate effectively in Spanish with students and parents/guardians who are not fluent in English.
