The SPARK team supports collaboration between teachers and students and invites active participation to strengthen German programs in the USA and to train the next generation of German teachers. Through workshops, seminars and participation in conferences, we encourage dialogue within our SPARK community and build bridges to connect with anyone interested in language teaching and learning. Through our work we aim to respond to challenges and celebrate together the successes we achieve.
We believe in exchange and collaboration between instructors and students locally and across the United States. SPARK champions language learning and teaching and highlights the benefits of teaching and learning German to support the transatlantic dialogue between Germany and the United States and improve educational opportunities for U.S. students.
German educators share their stories to provide insights into the teaching profession and to encourage others to consider a career in teaching.
