On Saturday December 11, the Virginia Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish & Portuguese presented Professor Gustavo Pellón with the David T. Gies Distinguished Service Award. This award recognizes individuals who have worked toward improving the teaching of Spanish in Virginia, above and beyond the general job requirements.
From our "Homer's Odyssey in a Global Context" program (Nov. 14, 2020), two teachers developed classroom materials on the topic. Jen Swalec (Westport, CT) and Paul Perrot (Arlington, VA) created wonderful teaching resources for the classroom, and we hope you will take advantage of them.
