• AATSP METRO ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REMINDERS

  Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos! Bem vindo!

  Recent news and updates from our chapter:

  To our wonderful and amazing Members and Colleagues! 

   

  Following are a few announcements and reminders as of 12/05/22:  

   

  1. REGISTRATION FOR THE NATIONAL SPANISH EXAMINATIONS(NSE) - is now open. 

     It’s that time of year!  Registration is open for the 2022-2023 National Spanish Exam and National Spanish Challenge!  We are excited to honor, encourage, and reward language learning! Here are some changes to look for this upcoming year:

  2. TRAVEL STIPENDS FOR CONFERENCE IN SALAMANCA - If you read the rules for applying for the stipend, there is an indication "To attach the link to the biographical page of your current institution." IT IS NO LONGER NECESSARY TO DO THIS. Thanks to one of our members who questioned this, it is not necessary to attach. Many NYC public schools do not have a bio page for staff.

  3. ARE YOU GOING TO SALAMANCA WITH YOUR SPOUSE OR CHILD THAT IS NOT AN AATSP MEMBER?- Again, thanks to one of our members, I was told that the person would only have to pay $40. See below.

  4. DO YOU WANT TO STAY IN SALAMANCA AFTER THE CONFERENCE TO EXPLORE THE CITY AND ENVIRONS?- We are being offered a wonderful opportunity by the university to stay a week, See below the outline from Dean Sánchez Llorente.

  1. SPANISH - ITALIAN TEACHER NEEDED - at Iona Prep in Westchester county. Click on the link below for more information. Kindly communicate per the instructions.
  

  I was hoping you could include the following job opening in my school, Iona Prep in New Rochelle, in your next email blast.

  Spanish-Italian Opening

  I would appreciate it very much.

   

  2. MEMBERSHIP SURVEY: The national office sent out to members a survey regarding your opinions about the chapter. If you are currently a member, you should have received it.  Some members have expressed their displeasure that we will no longer be able to have an Annual NSE Awards ceremony due to National's restructuring of the contest fees. National is charging a flat $5.00 fee. Formerly, we could ask for an additional $1 or $2 per student and this money would be forwarded to us. We would use this money to pay for all the costs for having an Awards Ceremony. It would include the cost of the medals, printing of certificates, breakfast refreshments and the cost of renting/security for Stuyvesant High School. If you feel as strongly as the board about the change, let National know. I've included here a link to the survey. We wouldn't mind if you would express some positive comments about us! LOL.

  3. CONGRESO EDUCATIVO: Have you registered? Remember. The date of the virtual congreso is April 2nd.  The theme is "Mi gente en los Estados Unidos." Did you ever wonder the reasons for Latinos coming to the United States? Over the years to where did they immigrate?  With many groups there were waves of immigration. You'll be surprised as to the reasons for coming. Why did they choose certain areas? What were/are their contributions?  Remember. CTLE credits will be given for your attendance. I've provided the link for the program and registration information.
