Spring into Action! Jump Start Your Virtual Classroom – March 25, 2020

With the new changes in virtual teaching and learning, this session will assist participants in solidifying the foundational methods established in their classroom and transferring those strategies to add new elements and ideas to online classroom routines. This session will breathe some much needed energy into our remote learning environments.

The Importance of Showing Students their Growth- April 8, 2020
How many of you would like to be able to know and demonstrate your students growth in the language? This session will clarify the difference between a performance and proficiency assessment, while offering examples and samples of proficiency assessments used in the classroom. Perfect timing for the end of the year as you are preparing your final assessments. We will also discuss how to focus on student self-reflection of their learning and how they can take ownership for their language level, though the assessments.
Keep it Relevant! High Student Engagement Until the End- April 22, 2020
As we work through this time of remote learning, we are faced with a series of new challenges. In this session we will focus on how to continue to build community, maintain connection and keep that feeling of play and joy, while still seeing language development. Join us for this session to keep our students and us moving towards a strong finish that supports all of the work and joy we have put in!
Finish Strong with Authentic Content and Debriefs – May 6, 2020
As the school year comes to a close, we want our students to finish feeling confident and empowered to continue in their language development. In this session we will focus on how to authentically engage students until the end, continue their learning and foster excitement for their next steps. This session also explores how to end the year with effective debriefs.
