• Spanish & Global Education Teacher

  • Aug 2008 - Aug 2021

  The Global Education Teacher prepares students to be globally aware citizens through a holistic approach to world geography, language and culture. Recognizing Spanish as the most commonly taught second language in the United States, students are exposed to the language through songs, games and media in the Lower School. Upper school students build on their Spanish base with organized curriculum programs, combining vocabulary and basic grammar rules, as well as cultural understanding. Second language education sets the foundation for promoting a global perspective. Students deepen their understanding of critical international issues and globalization, building cross cultural awareness. The teacher collaborates as a faculty team member to design units with the express purpose of using Project Based Learning, infused with 21st century skills, local and international service learning, and Common Core Standards, to create solutions for a more sustainable, equitable, peaceful, and culturally-aware world community.

Partners currently implements the Youth Ambassador Program, which is a US State Department sponsored cultural exchange program that brings together youth from diverse communities across the Americas, ages 15-18, to build understanding among countries, increase leadership skills, and prepare them to be positive agents of change through volunteer service.
