Back Group Sizes and Staffing Group sizes for class should be 25-27 students per teacher. Larger classes retard proficiency as there is less time for individual speaking. Smaller enrollment figures should not deter the offering of upper level Honors courses such as the Advanced Placement program. Teachers should be certified and proficient in the languages they teach. Currently there is a shortage of certified foreign language teachers, especially in Latin, both locally and nationally.
Spanish certification is a plus for teachers of other languages.
