Teach Spanish in Ann Arbor through the Ann Arbor Language Partnership

*Ann Arbor Language Partnership*

Do you want to teach Spanish next year in Ann Arbor?

Some of you may have heard about the Ann Arbor Languages Partnership (A2LP) through friends or in your previous Spanish classes. You teach twice a week in 1-3 classes of either 3rd or 4th graders and you don't need to be an education student. It is a year long commitment with exceptions for those that wish to study abroad. Only requirement is that you have either passed 277 or are a native speaker.

This counts as a 3-credit class, so there is a discussion component one night a week. A2LP is a great opportunity to hone your Spanish speaking skills, participate in community leadership, and gain teaching skills. If you have any questions e-mail the Director at mariajc@umich.edu for more information.

For more information about the program, as well as the application process, please see http://a2lp.com/.

WorldTeach: Opportunities in Latin America starting in Winter 2013

If you'll be graduating at the end of December or have already graduated, check out the announcement below sent by the organization, WorldTeach.  

--------------

Graduating this winter and looking for post-graduate plans?
Interested in Latin American Studies and looking to examine theories via field experience?
Want to brush up on or perfect your Spanish? 

If you answered “yes” to any of the above, read on!

In partnership with Ministries of Education and local organizations,
WorldTeach volunteers serve in 6 Latin American countries:

Guyana
Chile
Colombia
Costa Rica
Ecuador
Panama

While volunteers in Guyana teach math and science, volunteers in the Chile
Patagonia Sur Year (different from Chile program) teach environmental
studies, and those in the remaining programs teach English at various
levels. The majority of the programs depart in Jan or Feb of 2013, with the
exception of Guyana which departs in August. Our programs vary in length,
allowing volunteers to choose among summer, semester, and year-long
programs. Those who are interested in pursuing a career in teaching abroad
might also be interested in participating in our accredited TEFL
certification program. *We invite you to learn more about these programs at
our website www.worldteach.org. **Many of **the programs have a deadline in
October, so make sure to get started on your application soon!*

WorldTeach is a well-established NGO founded in 1986 by a group of Harvard
students who were motivated by the desire to promote education at the local
level in places where teachers and resources were lacking. Each year, we
send about 500 volunteers, impassioned by that same desire, to the local
schools and the host communities in developing countries around the world
that have specifically requested our support. Since our inception, we have
placed over 5,000 volunteers, providing them with teacher training,
language preparation, and field support, empowering them to affect lasting
change on the community they work with so that their influence will survive
their experience. Fully and partially funded programs available for
year-long and semester programs.
