The support that would have helped in our district is professional development and resources. Too bad there wasn’t TpT when I began. 🙂 Teachers won’t teach the way they are supposed to if they have to work 12 hours a day to create all the necessary resources to get students to understand what they are saying. They’ll just use English.

Angie! I can’t believe that the AP program collapsed when you left!!!! That is devastating for the school! You are so right- really motivated, dedicated, quality teachers are the foundation for any world language department. We need to support teachers even more to keep them in the profession!

Students knew they would learn and pass the AP test at my school so they signed up. As soon as I retired, the AP program collapsed and AP Spanish was dropped. Good language teachers are hard to find. I would think now is a good time to get into the profession because there are many job openings.
