Spanish For Educators

This is a good textbook for the course I took, "Spanish For Educators", with a couple exceptions. I wish it had an index to locate words and concepts. Also, the glossary is incomplete and doesn't include many words from the chapters.

Essential material for educators

I found this book indispensable for those Educators working or seeking carrer in a biligual teaching environment. Very useful.

A must have for any educator of Spanish speaking students.

I found this book to be very helpful as a resource in my classroom. With several Spanish speaking students (preschool) I repeatedly returned to this book for answers. I do have some knowledge of Spanish. I can see how this book could not be as helpfull to an educator with little or no Spanish language background. It was very relevant to school situations. I have used it as a resource when dealing with students from 2 years old to 20 years old. Every school should be required to have this wonderful book available to its educators.

Very good

Most language courses give you a lot of words and phrases which are needed if you are a tourist. This one concentrates on what you need if you work in the schools. The author writes very clearly and the lessons follow a natural progression. Everything I learned here was useful. A very good investment. Get the book with the tapes. They are well worth it.

Translated educational vocabulary commonly used in schools.

This easy to use book helps even the Spanish illerate speak and converse. With easy to access vocabulary and phrases, you will be on your way to making your Spanish speaking parents and students feel welcome in your school. Everything from discipline to the clinic is covered in this book. I would like to see a copy in all of our school buildings to make easy references and translations for our parents and students.
