Teotihuacán Teotihuacán is an extensive ancient religious complex near Mexico City. Its many architectural marvels include the enormous Pyramid of the Sun, one of the grandest monuments ever erected.
Teotihuacán Guide The ancient city of Teotihuacán is just 30 miles north of Mexico City, and is the country's most visited ruin.
Tenochtitlán Facts The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán (at modern Mexico City) was founded in 1325 on a muddy island in the lake that at that time filled the Basin of Mexico. A second group of Aztec settled the nearby island of Tlatelolco in 1358. Both sites began as small collections of reed huts but, with the growth of Aztec power, developed into cities, eventually fusing into a single conurbation.
Chitzen Itza Facts Chichen Itza is one of Mexico's most popular tourist destination, and rightfully so. But the contrast between the two can be measured in more than just distance and time. It is a massive step pyramid, known as El Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan and dominates the ancient city, which thrived from around 600 A.D. to the 1200s.
Tulum Ruins The Mayan city of Tulum is a 13th-century, walled Mayan archaeological site at Tulum National Park that overlooks the sea. It incorporates the clifftop Castillo, built as a watchtower, and the Templo de las Pinturas, with a partially restored mural.

Spanish Grammar Site Spanish grammar is not the most exciting thing to learn about the Spanish language. When we learn a language we start talking without the need of grammar knowledge. On the other hand grammar holds everything together; it determinates the structure of a language.
I know from my own experience that being on a continual path of self-improvement is an absolute necessity toward be a good teacher. Hang out with other educators that you admire. Watch them closely and learn from them. Imitation is the greatest compliment! Join your language association AATSP - (http://www.aatsp.org) plus two foreign language teacher associations (state and national: ACTFL - (http://www.actfl.org) and attend their annual meetings on a regular basis. Get involved anyway you can with each. Rub noses with people at the TOP of the profession. Get to know the officers personally and keep in contact with them. Use AATSP association offerings, suggestions and resources.
Whenever you can in your own environment, ask to observe your colleagues in action in their classroom. Pick up ideas that work for them and adopt and adapt them to you own classroom. Always be on the "lookout" for new ideas, new means of teaching, new ways to incorporate things that work for others into your own methodology. Don't hesitate to ask questions of teachers who have had much success as to how and why that happened. I used to observe elementary teachers and how they interacted with their young students. Always something to learn. "Learn from the mistakes of others. You'll never live long enough to make all of them yourself." Another that I always loved is "If you think you're GREEN, you'll grow - if you think you're RIPE, you'll rot." All true. Don't rot! That's an axiom that will never grow old. You may think that you are the best, but you're not. There is always someone better than you. (I learned this playing basketball) Learn from them. Know what the best practices are and be aware of the current online resources that can be of great help to you and your Spanish students.
Keep your classroom presentations FRESH. Keep up with innovation and the changing needs of your students by incorporating technology such as computer use, iPhones, iPads, e-mail and a host of other innovations into your routine classroom activities to communicate with others in the target language and to access authentic resources. Stay current with options and trends in the field such as the National Standards and know how to incorporate them into your daily plans. Hopefully these few ideas will aid in your growth and success. Stay with it. Don't throw in the towel like many have, but again as I point out above, whatever new ideas you discover, you must first adopt and then adapt. Not everything you see elsewhere will work for you as I have personally learned. You must adapt those ideas to your own Spanish classroom. There are a host of great ideas available on all these sites, but they are only as successful as you will make them. And perhaps most important of all, do ask your students often how they feel about what they are doing and learning and what they enjoy the most and the least in your classroom. Most of all, do enjoy your students and share yourself with them. [They don't care how much you know until they know how much you CARE] I hope that you picked up some ideas here that will aid in your total success. Have fun in your classroom. (ps I picked up these ideas in a recent dream and wanted to share with each of you) I'm 80 years old now, but never too old to learn and never too old to share neat teaching ideas. Best yet, why not be learning another language yourself? Check out one of the sites above. It is a great means to experience first-hand what your students are feeling. Now you are "walking in their shoes." Remember to have FUN doing it.

Teotihuacán Teotihuacán is an extensive ancient religious complex near Mexico City. Its many architectural marvels include the enormous Pyramid of the Sun, one of the grandest monuments ever erected.
Teotihuacán Guide The ancient city of Teotihuacán is just 30 miles north of Mexico City, and is the country's most visited ruin.
Tenochtitlán Facts The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán (at modern Mexico City) was founded in 1325 on a muddy island in the lake that at that time filled the Basin of Mexico. A second group of Aztec settled the nearby island of Tlatelolco in 1358. Both sites began as small collections of reed huts but, with the growth of Aztec power, developed into cities, eventually fusing into a single conurbation.
Chitzen Itza Facts Chichen Itza is one of Mexico's most popular tourist destination, and rightfully so. But the contrast between the two can be measured in more than just distance and time. It is a massive step pyramid, known as El Castillo or Temple of Kukulcan and dominates the ancient city, which thrived from around 600 A.D. to the 1200s.
Tulum Ruins The Mayan city of Tulum is a 13th-century, walled Mayan archaeological site at Tulum National Park that overlooks the sea. It incorporates the clifftop Castillo, built as a watchtower, and the Templo de las Pinturas, with a partially restored mural.

Spanish Grammar Site Spanish grammar is not the most exciting thing to learn about the Spanish language. When we learn a language we start talking without the need of grammar knowledge. On the other hand grammar holds everything together; it determinates the structure of a language.
I know from my own experience that being on a continual path of self-improvement is an absolute necessity toward be a good teacher. Hang out with other educators that you admire. Watch them closely and learn from them. Imitation is the greatest compliment! Join your language association AATSP - (http://www.aatsp.org) plus two foreign language teacher associations (state and national: ACTFL - (http://www.actfl.org) and attend their annual meetings on a regular basis. Get involved anyway you can with each. Rub noses with people at the TOP of the profession. Get to know the officers personally and keep in contact with them. Use AATSP association offerings, suggestions and resources.
Whenever you can in your own environment, ask to observe your colleagues in action in their classroom. Pick up ideas that work for them and adopt and adapt them to you own classroom. Always be on the "lookout" for new ideas, new means of teaching, new ways to incorporate things that work for others into your own methodology. Don't hesitate to ask questions of teachers who have had much success as to how and why that happened. I used to observe elementary teachers and how they interacted with their young students. Always something to learn. "Learn from the mistakes of others. You'll never live long enough to make all of them yourself." Another that I always loved is "If you think you're GREEN, you'll grow - if you think you're RIPE, you'll rot." All true. Don't rot! That's an axiom that will never grow old. You may think that you are the best, but you're not. There is always someone better than you. (I learned this playing basketball) Learn from them. Know what the best practices are and be aware of the current online resources that can be of great help to you and your Spanish students.
Keep your classroom presentations FRESH. Keep up with innovation and the changing needs of your students by incorporating technology such as computer use, iPhones, iPads, e-mail and a host of other innovations into your routine classroom activities to communicate with others in the target language and to access authentic resources. Stay current with options and trends in the field such as the National Standards and know how to incorporate them into your daily plans. Hopefully these few ideas will aid in your growth and success. Stay with it. Don't throw in the towel like many have, but again as I point out above, whatever new ideas you discover, you must first adopt and then adapt. Not everything you see elsewhere will work for you as I have personally learned. You must adapt those ideas to your own Spanish classroom. There are a host of great ideas available on all these sites, but they are only as successful as you will make them. And perhaps most important of all, do ask your students often how they feel about what they are doing and learning and what they enjoy the most and the least in your classroom. Most of all, do enjoy your students and share yourself with them. [They don't care how much you know until they know how much you CARE] I hope that you picked up some ideas here that will aid in your total success. Have fun in your classroom. (ps I picked up these ideas in a recent dream and wanted to share with each of you) I'm 80 years old now, but never too old to learn and never too old to share neat teaching ideas. Best yet, why not be learning another language yourself? Check out one of the sites above. It is a great means to experience first-hand what your students are feeling. Now you are "walking in their shoes." Remember to have FUN doing it.
