Teaching Spotlight

This monthly bulletin will spotlight teaching innovations and ideas for Polish language classrooms.  Instructors are encouraged to submit their ideas and they will be published on our website (naatpl.org), on a rolling basis, throughout the year.  All levels of instruction are welcome (K-16) and credit will be given to the submitting instructor, or teaching team. The submissions need not be long (see the sample template below), but the more information that is provided, the more useful it will be to our members and colleagues. Please email your submissions to naatplorginization@gmail.com!
