What You'll Do...

- Conduct thorough reviews of lesson content, learning objectives, and instructional activities to ensure alignment with relevant Spanish language arts standards and frameworks.
- Assess the developmental and linguistic appropriateness of lesson design, vocabulary, and text selections for each grade band (K–2, 3–5, 6–8).
- Provide detailed, actionable, written feedback on lesson materials that will be implemented by content writers and instructional designers.
- Evaluate the authenticity and accuracy of Spanish-language content, including grammar, syntax, and culturally situated language use.
Content Expertise and Consultation
- Serve as a subject matter expert on Spanish literacy development, including phonological awareness in Spanish, decoding, fluency, comprehension, and written expression across the K–8 continuum.
- Advise on best practices for supporting Spanish-dominant, emergent bilingual, and heritage language learners across grade levels.
- Ensure cultural and linguistic responsiveness throughout lesson materials, with attention to diverse Latin American and Spanish-speaking communities and dialects.
- Recommend evidence-based instructional practices and current research in Spanish literacy education, biliteracy, and dual-language program design.
- Advise on the integration of Spanish language arts instruction with English language arts to support biliteracy development where applicable.
Quality Assurance
- Verify the accuracy of Spanish-language content, including standards alignment, grade-level appropriateness, and adherence to accepted linguistic norms.
- Ensure lesson content reflects current guidance on Spanish language arts instruction, biliteracy frameworks, and relevant state or national standards.
- Review materials for clarity, coherence, and accessibility for teacher learners who may have varying levels of Spanish language proficiency.
- Identify gaps in content coverage, linguistic accuracy, or cultural representation, and flag areas requiring additional development or revision.
