V. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SPANISH AND
BILINGUAL TEACHERS 2000-2001
"A VIRTUAL TOUR OF CONTEMPORARY SPAIN"
Would you like to earn 10 clock hours or one college
credit with SPU ($38)
while learning about contemporary Spain? Thanks to a
common effort of the
Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI)
and the Education
Office of the Spanish Embassy this course will be
offered free of charge to
a maximum of 20 participants. This ten hour long class
will include an
introduction to Spain's geography, history, politics,
culture (customs,
food, folklore, art, etc), languages, economy, and
current affairs. Teachers
will also spend three and a half hours surfing the
internet and learning
about resources available for them. Most of the
activities will be conducted
in Spanish. Teachers will receive a handout and other
materials so they will
be able to bring new ideas and activities to their
classroom. This is also
an excellent occasion to brush up your spoken Spanish
and to share ideas
with other Spanish teachers in your area.
Instructors: Eduardo Tobar is the Spanish Language
Consultant at OSPI and
represents the Education Office of the Spanish
Embassy. He is involved with
various programs of cooperation between Spain and the
State of Washington.
