Here’s what your teaching colleagues say about the World Language Teacher Summit:

"I felt encouraged in growth and new strategies"

It was really helpful and I enjoyed the format a lot. Even with 15 years of experience, I felt encouraged in growth and new strategies. I wish that all of my colleagues would have taken advantage of this opportunity.

ERIN // Spanish Teacher

"I was able to instantly use what I learned into my lessons the next day"

I enjoyed all the presentations during that week. The best part is that I was able to instantly use what I learned into my lessons the next day. Thank you.

VICENTE // School Teacher

"There were so many topics that were relevant to what I do"

I absolutely LOVED this summit!!! I would get up early and stay up late binge-watching presentations. There were so many topics that were relevant to what I do, which is not always the case as an elementary teacher. I loved how I could pick and choose topics.

alison // K-5 Teacher

The activities and strategies that I can start using TODAY! So many templates, lesson ideas, or strategies that I can use immediately to improve my teaching. Many ideas are similar to things I already do, but added a small piece to make them more meaningful or effective.

- M. Engelbert

Absolutely nothing to lose! Everything to gain. It’s free! And the wisdom and ideas from other educators is PRICELESS!
I love the variety of information presented! I teach in a non-traditional setting, yet still have at least one session daily that I can apply to my situation. I am so grateful!

- D. Davis 

Definitely sign up! The format was great!! I ended up watching many more videos than I planned on because the format was so flexible.
The conference was well worth my time and valuable. The ability to create my own schedule to watch was key for me.

MEET YOUR HOST

JARED ROMEY

Creator Of The World Language Teacher Summit, The Teacher Summits, SpeakingLatino.com, Lifelong Language Learner and Author of 12 Books on Spanish Dialects

Hi, I'm Jared! I’m the creator of SpeakingLatino.com, where my wife Diana and I help Spanish teachers create more time in their lives to spend with their families and still be amazing teachers.

For a long time, I heard from person after person that they had been teaching for years (sometimes 15+ years) and never had access to free language teaching professional development. So, I decided to do something about that and created these World Language Teacher Summit.

Learning languages absolutely changed my life and I want to help you share that same opportunity with your students.

Join me and thousands of teachers for this World Language Teacher Summit!

It was the most valuable event in my teaching career.
Just thanks for everything. It was great experience. I have learned a great amount of helpful tips and methodological advance.

It was very practical, easy to implement, relevant and a variety of exceptional presenters. Loved the resources shared and for me personally, to be able to watch asynchronous this training was a game changer, since I am currently living in Vietnam.
