Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Six Teachers FromSpain to Teach in the Ohio Schools
Susan Tave Zelman, superintendent of public instruction for the Ohioschools, welcomed six visiting teachers from Spain, who will be teaching in theOhio schools this coming school year.
Last year, the Ohio schools signed a memorandum of understanding with theSpanish Ministry of Education and Science, Spain’s sponsor for the visitinginternational teacher program. The ministry started the program in 1986 and hassince provided 1,500 visiting teachers to the United States. This is the firstyear of participation for the Ohio schools.
Spanish language educators have been in short supply in the Ohio schools,yet they are in critical demand in order to prepare Ohio schools’ students fortheir future and the new millennium. With only 200-225 foreign languageteachers being graduated from the 25 or so Ohio colleges and universities, theOhio schools see the visiting teacher program as a plus for everyone.
The visiting educators will teach their native language, culture and historyto middle and high school students, while helping the school districts toexpand or maintain their Spanish language programs. The teachers will, inreturn, gain a first-hand experience of American culture, improve their ownEnglish language proficiency, and develop new relationships that hopefully willbe lasting ones.
The Ohio schools’ students will benefit greatly from the program, too. TheNational Governor’s Association already has called for state public schoolsystems to expose their students to the global world in which they now live.The association believes that global thinking and learning is essential in thefuture of today’s students. The Ohio schools are accepting this challenge byparticipating in the visiting teacher program to ensure their students learn tospeak another language, as well as understand and appreciate anotherculture.
Whether Ohio schools’ students work in the United States or abroad in thefuture, the exposure today will benefit them tomorrow. Of the U.S. population,12 percent are Hispanic. Ohio’s own Hispanic community has grown fromapproximately 140,000 in 1990 to about 217,000 in 2000. Some states, such asFlorida, Texas and California, have even greater communities of Hispanicresidents.
Currently, only 45 percent of students across the nation take a foreignlanguage in high school. Ohio’s Governor Taft has proposed that all Ohioschools’ students be required to take at least two years of foreign languagestudy, though it is not yet a requirement.
The six educators that will teach in the Ohio schools during the 2006-2007school year are:
• Maria Espada Blanco from Madrid, Spain. Maria will teach in theConstellation Community Schools in Parma, Cuyahoga County; • Raquel AlonsoCuadrado from Palencia, Spain. Raquel will teach in the Beaver Local inColumbiana County; • Maria Isabel (Maribel) Prado Millan from Cadiz, Spain.Maribel will teach in the Madison Local School District in Lake County; • MariaRebeca Tejero Olivares from Gibraleon, Spain. Maria will teach in the PreparingAcademic Leaders Academy in Maple Heights, Cuyahoga County; • Pablo HernandezRodriguez from Salamanca, Spain. Pablo will teach in the Meigs Local Schools inMeigs County; and • Yolanda Coleto Salas from Madrid, Spain. Yolanda will teachin Trotwood-Madison High School in Montgomery County.
The visiting teachers to the Ohio schools will receive the same salary andbenefits as their American counterparts. The Ohio schools’ districts willprovide the funding for salaries and share with the Ohio schools the healthcare costs. The Spanish educators are responsible for finding housing andtransportation during their stay in the United States. They have each made aone-year commitment to the Ohio schools, with the option of up to threeadditional years.
The Ohio schools, as well as the state’s governor, are committed to exposingOhio’s students to more of the world around them. With world events beingbrought into every American home as they happen, our children must be aware andeducated about other cultures. These same children will be making the worlddecisions of the future.
