FREE ONLINE PD FOR SPANISH TEACHERS
As much as it’s ideal to attend a conference and get your PD hours in person, it’s not always possible. If you’re like me, budgets and kids have often gotten in the way of being able to physically travel to a world language teacher conference.
Thought it isn’t an actual conference, you can check out my (huge!) collection of Spanish teacher videos and demos. They show many different teaching strategies and give you a peek into everyday Spanish classrooms.
WORLD LANGUAGE TEACHER SUMMIT (ONLINE)
There are also some amazing alternatives now, in the form of online conferences! The World Language Teacher Summit is a great opportunity to get some PD in your pajamas for a great deal (if you want on-demand access to the sessions).
Right now you can register to access the individual sessions for free, which start September 23.
The World Language Teacher Summit Online Conference features over 30 amazing presenters, and covers topics like:
- Inspiring Curiosity in the World Language Class
- Classroom Management 101
- Comprehensible Input with Non-Readers

and much more!
You can also download your free playbook, which is a guide to the sessions you’ll find in the conference.
