Does this sound familiar?

Your school just added a heritage Spanish course and while you are very excited because your students need this... you have no idea where you will find the time to create a full curriculum.

You just inherited the heritage Spanish course from another teacher, but there isn't a set curriculum and the textbooks are not engaging your students.

You're extremely overwhelmed by teaching a heritage Spanish class and daunted by the search for quality resources in Spanish that will interest your students.

You're depleted and overrun. You want your students to get the educational experience they deserve, but you are nearing burnout and feel like you are in this alone with nowhere to turn.

You've spent countless hours trying to build your lessons, and you're sick of the frustration of only finding a series of one-off lessons, where you resent the fact that they do not flow together to form a meaningful concept for your students.

You want to spend less time creating curriculum so you have more energy to focus on being in the moment with your family, and better connecting with your students.

If any or all of this sounds like you...

then you are in the right place!

Spanish Teacher

ABSOLUTELY LOVE these materials. They made my transition into teaching heritage speakers so easy! I love the ideas and the flexibility to use them to best fit my kids!

- Alita G.

Thank you so much for creating this. My school really needs to have a heritage learner Spanish class and this resource has been so helpful in planning the curriculum.

- Shelby N.

My school just implemented a Heritage Speaker class this school year, and we needed resources. We began using this bundle this week, and we are very pleased with how organized and engaging the lessons are.

- Mark G.

Los materiales de este archivo contiene un sin número de recursos excelentes para una clase de estudiantes como lo son los de herencia de habla hispana. Todo está estructurado en secuencia y los temas incluidos son de mucho atractivo para este grupo de estudiantes. No es necesario comprar otros materiales ya que lo tiene todo para los cursos. Muchas gracias por crear un curso de esta indole y así hacernos la vida más fácil.

- Katherine V.

I just started using Profe Nygaard's bundle. They are a life saver! Las actividades muy bien diseñadas y en general estoy muy contenta con la calidad del producto! Muy recomendable!

- Rebeca A.

I cannot thank you enough for your time and dedication to this curriculum. Our curriculum for native speakers is not appropriate and with this resource, I have been able to reach them. Again, Muchas Gracias!

- Larissa A.

I bought this material to use as we design our heritage course that will begin next year, but I've already tried out quite a few of the unit activities with my Spanish 4 students and WOW! Courtney thought of everything and I don't just mean instructions. She is so clearly in touch with what and how teenagers prefer to learn and are able to connect with each other. This curriculum is awesome. The other 2 bundles are next on my list!

- Libby H.

I purchased a few lessons that I absolutely loved from Profe Nygaard. When I realized that I was loving everything I saw, I decided to go ahead and purchase the entire curriculum that I knew would benefit my students. Although my district has a curriculum to follow, I have found that many of the lessons can be incorporated into the curriculum and that I have plenty of time to incorporate many of the other lessons that I know would be interesting and useful to my students.

- Frida I.

This was so helpful in planning my new middle school heritage class. It really made planning efficient to pull from these materials. I also really appreciate the thought that went into these. This curriculum matches everything I learned about best practices for heritage class from a workshop I took with University of Wisconsin Whitewater. Thank you, Profe Nygaard!

- Samantha P.

This is exactly what I was looking for to support my heritage speakers. Every lesson is so engaging and all standards are targeted. Thank you for creating a curriculum that is well thought out.
