This STARTALK teacher program will provide you with training through an interactive and engaging hybrid (online and in-person) learning experience.
The program will expand your conceptual understanding and teaching strategies with hands-on experience planning and teaching a critical language. Using strategies to engage students for your language program, you will create thematically organized lessons that meet the World-Readiness Standards. And you will discuss and receive feedback about your lesson planning and instruction from peers and pedagogical specialists.
