With Sarah’s Spanish School, you’re choosing a partner dedicated to fostering a love for language learning in students of all ages! Here are a few ways how we work with school districts to provide bilingual instruction that’s impactful and easy to implement:
Program Structure Fundamentals
Building a successful K-12 Spanish program requires flexibility to meet the diverse needs of elementary and middle school schedules.
Sarah’s Spanish School offers proficiency-based Spanish language programs that integrate smoothly into your school’s existing structure. Our curriculum is crafted to accommodate the needs of younger learners in elementary school, right up to high school language programs.
With our approach, students experience online fun and engaging Spanish lessons. Our outstanding state-certified teachers will keep your students engaged and immersed in every lesson! There is no need for any additional Spanish speaking staff on your end.
Whether your school’s objective is to introduce a foundation in Spanish or to prepare students for more advanced language courses, our program structure is ready to adapt to your needs at the time that is most convenient for your school. We work with your schedule, not ours!
Strategic Staffing Solutions
One of the most significant challenges schools face when implementing a new language program is finding qualified staff, especially for a less common subject like elementary Spanish.
Sarah’s Spanish School provides the perfect staffing solution by eliminating the need for a certified Spanish teacher on-site. Our certified Spanish instructors deliver quality lessons through our online platform.
All your school needs is a facilitator to be in the room with students while they learn Spanish. This is typically a teaching assistant or a general education teacher.
We even offer asynchronous and synchronous lessons! With our fully asynchronous program, students log in and learn at times that align best with their class schedules.
For schools seeking more interaction, we also offer live lesson options led by our amazing Spanish teachers. These live sessions provide real-time practice, letting students ask questions, engage in conversations, and deepen their language skills with a live teacher present.
Whether through flexible, on-demand lessons or live, interactive sessions, Sarah’s Spanish School offers solutions to meet every school’s unique scheduling needs!
Curriculum Development & Alignment
At Sarah’s Spanish School, we pride ourselves on offering a Spanish language curriculum aligned with ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) standards. ACTFL provides benchmarks for effective language education, focusing on developing communicative skills and cultural competency.
Our curriculum is tailored to each grade level, ensuring that Spanish lessons are age-appropriate, engaging, and relevant for each stage of student development.
In each lesson, you’ll find interactive elements such as games, songs, and storytelling to keep students engaged and immersed in the language!
Resource Requirements & Budgeting
One of the advantages of our program is its minimal resource requirement. All your school needs is a computer, a screen, and a stable WiFi connection to access your daily Spanish lesson! We understand that every school operates within unique budget constraints, and we’re dedicated to offering adaptable options to fit a variety of financial needs.
Sarah’s Spanish School ensures every school, regardless of size or budget, can offer students the benefits of bilingual instruction without the high costs associated with traditional language programs. Contact us now to learn how our Spanish programs can be adapted to fit both your budget and your student’s needs!
Technology Integration
Technology is at the heart of Sarah’s Spanish School’s accessibility. By seamlessly integrating with existing classroom technology, our platform is straightforward to implement.
All lessons are accessible via a unique login link for each school, making it easy for students to access their language education on personal or school-provided devices.
This flexibility simplifies technology requirements and enables a smooth rollout in classrooms.
Assessment & Progress Monitoring
Assessment is key to language proficiency, and we’ve streamlined this process to be fully automated.
With our gradebook feature, each student has an individual login to complete assessments online, including pre-and post-tests to measure language proficiency over time. Progress is automatically graded and monitored through our platform, allowing teachers and administrators to easily track each student’s growth in real time.
