Ms. Belcher graduated from Samford University with a degree in Spanish Education. She began teaching at Hoover High School in the fall of 2015, after completing her student teaching here at Hoover during the spring semester. She loves teaching Spanish, and is so grateful to be able to help her students develop their proficiency and confidence in a second language.

“The AP Spanish Language and Culture course emphasizes communication by applying interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational skills in real-life situations. Students will engage in an exploration of culture in both contemporary and historical contexts. The course develops students’ awareness and appreciation of cultural products, practices and perspectives. To support building communicative proficiency, students will primarily speak in the target language.”

Please note that the prerequisite for AP Spanish Language is Spanish 3 (face to face is recommended).
