Welcome
As a Title VI National Resource Center, the Center for Latin American Studies has a strong dedication to enhancing awareness, knowledge, and engagement with Latin America. One of our key efforts involves reaching out to K12 educators in local communities and across the nation. Our goal is to assist and empower teachers by offering them various avenues to enrich their understanding of Latin America and integrate this knowledge into their classrooms.
We're committed to creating supportive environments where educators can collaboratively generate, improve, and broaden their grasp of Latin American subjects. Our partnership extends to teachers across different grade levels and subjects. We're here to provide valuable resources that include:
Through a diverse array of professional development workshops, we provide valuable resources to K-12 educators, covering a wide range of topics from sociocultural themes to bilingual teaching strategies. Join us in exploring the rich tapestry of Latin American culture, from its historical roots to contemporary trends. Elevate your teaching with culturally relevant content and make a meaningful impact in the classroom.
