Designed specifically for all educators in the Hudson Valley region ONLY, the
Conversational Spanish for Educators: Newcomers course will provide essential tools for communicating with Spanish-speaking students, parents, and school personnel about various aspects of school life and education. The language and content focus on real-life school contexts that educators most frequently encounter when interacting with Spanish-speaking students and their families.
Newcomers is designed for participants with no prior proficiency in Spanish who are not yet able to communicate in the language. It is not intended for participants who can already interact at a basic level in Spanish-such as using everyday greetings, managing very short social exchanges, discussing work or free time, making and responding to invitations, arranging meetings, or making and accepting simple offers-or for those with a higher level of proficiency.
