Durham Teachers Head Back To Class To Bridge Spanish Language Gap – North Carolina

Tagged: , , ,

“Teachers like Fiskars are also taking part in a Duke University-funded learning program called The Spanish Leap, which equips teachers how to better communicate with the growing Hispanic populations at their schools. The free program is part of the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership, which was formed in 1996.

Fiskars is one of about 30 Durham teachers that meet for classes once a week at Duke after school. They have access to the university’s online instructional resources and its language-learning lab. The program culminates in June with a weeklong trip to Guatemala, where the teachers will also study the culture.”
