Year 15 over here. I had to count 3 times to get it right.

I missed a picture on the first day… pero no pasa nada.

How many years have you been teaching? What are you teaching this year?

🚩🚩🚩 I’m seeing FB posts about grammar charts and vocab lists already…

I’m focused on communicative language use this coming school year (and for the past 7 years).

Don’t get me wrong - grammar explanations and vocab sets have their place - my summer school class this week is doing comparisons with más que and menos que, and we are breaking it down with examples and practicing the concept. I also keep vocab on Quizlet and share the link for optional extra practice …

But my primary goal is that my students can use Spanish, they can speak Spanish, they can read Spanish, and they can listen and understand. That doesn’t happen with vocab lists and grammar charts. That happens when we practice and intentionally use the language in class.

¿Y tú, profe? Is your style more “grammar charts and vocab lists” or “making Spanish comprehensible and usable?”

This is the easiest way to switch to Spanish, profe. Give it a try and let me know how it goes in your classroom.

I recorded this back in the fall, but it’s relevant this week!

Do you take a break or do a reflection week in your class? Let me know in the comments.

I get a lot of DMs and offline questions about how I teach online, how I find students, and how I make a living without working for a school.

The biggest thing you need to know about Teaching for yourself is that you are no longer just a teacher, you are now a business. That being said, I have to recommend my friend Tara for her course, coaching, and data spreadsheets.

If you’re even thinking about teaching online, or working for yourself, Tara‘s resources are a fantastic place to start. You can go follow her, or send me a DM and I will send you the link to get started.

¡Hola profe! As you might remember, my school closed last year and I struck out on my own, teaching all my own students and classes, fully online.

It's been a hit, and I want to offer more online class hours for the students and families that have come my way.

If you're interested in summer classes and/or after-school hours for next year, I'd love for you to apply!
