Summer professional development for Spanish teachers

For me, I enjoy spending time outside (preferably by water with a book and a beverage) with my family. But at some point in the summer, usually with that relaxing comes a new clarity when I am ready to start planning and getting fresh ideas for the next school year. I know that some of you enjoy learning new things in the summer, so I have put together a list of some high-quality virtual professional development that you can access today or at some point this summer. Some have recently reopened for you to be able to signup and access this summer and others are upcoming. Here is some summer professional development for Spanish teachers and World Language teachers.

Summer Professional Development 

Practical & Comprehensible July 19-21, 2021

• Free virtual conference with a focus on Comprehensible Input and mapping out your 1st 2 weeks of school with a focus on proficiency. 
• If you know you will not be available the week of July 19th & want unlimited access to the presentations to watch at your own pace, then you can get the all-access pass! Or even better, if you want lifetime access to the presentations plus a ton of bonuses (including a back-to-school bundle of resources from me!) you can upgrade to the Full Bonus Package. (With the upgrades you will also get a PD certificate which shows how many hours of the conference you watched). 

  This event is free to attend virtually from July 19-21, with an option to upgrade later for lifetime access to presentations (and sweet bonuses!). My presentation goes live sometime between July 19-21 so do not wait to sign up!
