Professional Development
Santillana PD offers high-quality, research-based professional development opportunities that
support second language teaching and learning. We offer pedagogical sessions that focus on
first and second language acquisition theory and application, applied linguistics, methods of
teaching and learning reading in a second language, and other key language topics that assist in
the professional development of highly qualified K–12 Spanish and ESL/ELD teachers.
“The AATSP is extremely proud of its partnership with Santillana USA to provide
professional development opportunities for Spanish instructors at all levels. As a result of
our joint venture, teachers will be able to participate in low-cost, high-quality workshops,
seminars, and webinars, offered within traditional conference venues as well as online.
Together the AATSP and Santillana USA hope to expand language and cultural proficiency,
upgrade pedagogical skills, and advocate for long-sequence, well-articulated, content-
driven Spanish programs.”
