Green Teacher en Español & en Français

By Tim Grant

We at Green Teacher are asked often if we have French or Spanish editions. Unfortunately, there are no magazines similar to Green Teacher that are published in French or Spanish, nor are we in a position to publish ones of our own.  With thousands of French-language schools in Canada and a burgeoning Hispanic school population in the United States, there is a real need for more educational materials for North America’s other two languages.

With the assistance of our multilingual readership and many volunteers from around the world, we're hoping to make a small dent in this language barrier. At the beginning of 2006, we added two new sections to our website - Green Teacher en español and - Green Teacher en français where visitors can freely download a selection of Green Teacher articles and learning activities that have been translated into Spanish and French.The service is free. We hope that over time our collection will grow to become a well-used and useful resource, not only for North American educators, but also for educators in Spanish and French-speaking countries around the world.

We continue to seek the assistance of volunteer translators who can write fluently in French or Spanish, and who would like to translate a favourite article, or an article on a favourite topic from Green Teacher. We invite you to contact us if you can assist us in this way, and to share this invitation with others who might be interested.
