Today’s Learning Goals I can … Describe the WHAT, HOW, and HOW WELL to guide my teaching and my students’ learning Connect key national initiatives to my daily classroom instruction Identify effective and appropriate means to measure student growth Describe various components for supporting and evaluating teacher effectiveness Hello

Unlock the Gateway to Communication Regional Conference Session - Linking Standards and Proficiency to Your Classroom Unlock the Gateway to Communication How do you see these initiatives linking together? How would you explain these key “ingredients” to a non-educator (or your students!)? How do these components help us “unit the core” and “unite the corps”? – come back to this question at the end of the hour.

Backward Design 1. What are the goals? Identify desired results 2. How will you and learners know they reached the goals? Identify acceptable evidence 3. What does it take to get there? Plan learning experiences and instruction

Standards for Learning Languages Timeline Standards for Learning Languages 1993 – 1996 Standards developed under Goals 2000 Educate America Act 1996 Publication of Standards for Foreign Language Learning: Preparing for the 21st Century (with 10 languages) 2000 Publication of Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century (with Chinese) 2006 Publication of Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century (with Arabic) 2013 Refreshed World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages Hello

Standards Collaborative Board (16 national language organizations) Our “Common Core”: 5 Cs and the 11 descriptive standards State Standards in over 40 states Local curricula based on these Standards Teacher preparation based on these Standards

Process to “refresh” the Standards influenced by 2011 report, A Decade of Foreign Language Standards: Impact, Influence, and Future Directions Guiding Principles for “refreshing” standards: Maintain the essence of each standard Clarify the language

FROM: Interpersonal Communication: Students engage in conversations, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions. TO: Interpersonal Communication: Learners interact and negotiate meaning in spoken, signed, or written conversations to share information, reactions, feelings, and opinions

FROM: Practices of Culture: Students demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the practices and perspectives of the culture studied. TO: Relating Cultural Practices to Perspectives: Learners use the language to investigate, explain, and reflect on the relationship between the practices and perspectives of the cultures studied

FROM: Lifelong Learning: Students show evidence of becoming life-long learners by using the language for personal enjoyment and enrichment TO: Lifelong Learning: Learners set goals and reflect on their progress in using languages for enjoyment, enrichment, and advancement

Intermediate Low - Interpersonal Regional Conference Session - Linking Standards and Proficiency to Your Classroom Intermediate Low - Interpersonal ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines - Speaking Can-Do Global Benchmark Speakers at the Intermediate Low sublevel are able to handle successfully a limited number of uncomplicated communicative tasks by creating with the language in straightforward social situations. Conversation is restricted to some of the concrete exchanges and predictable topics necessary for survival in the target-language culture. These topics relate to basic personal information; for example, self and family, some daily activities and personal preferences, and some immediate needs, such as ordering food and making simple purchases. Speakers are primarily reactive and struggle to answer direct questions or requests for information. They are also able to ask a few appropriate questions. I can participate in conversations on a number of familiar topics using simple sentences. I can handle short social interactions in everyday situations by asking and answering questions.

IPA - Novice Level TASK OVERVIEW: The university will be traveling to various study abroad fairs in Spanish-speaking countries. You have been assigned the responsibility of creating a flier to promote our university to prospective international studies interested in studying in the U.S. INTERPRETIVE TASK: In order to understand what international universities are like, you look for information on the Internet. Your teacher finds the following text about la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Río Piedras. Read the text carefully and complete the comprehension questions that accompany it. INTERPERSONAL TASK: Now you need to gather more information about the university experience of other students at our university. Talk with a classmate to learn more about his/her personal activities at the university. You want to know about his/her majors, classes, daily schedule, living situation, weekend/leisure activities, and transportation. Find out as much as you can from your partner in order to incorporate details into your flier. PRESENTATIONAL TASK: Based on what you have learned from your research, your knowledge of the university, and class discussions, create a flier in which you promote GVSU to Spanish-speaking university students. Your flier might include information about classes, living situations, transportation, recreational opportunities (sports/clubs/other campus/regional activities).

Regional Meeting of States State Teacher Certification States Using Demonstration of Language Proficiency for Some Aspect of Teacher Credentialing Alaska Arizona Arkansas Connecticut Delaware * Florida Georgia * Hawaii Maine * Maryland * New Jersey New York * North Carolina * Ohio * Oklahoma Pennsylvania * Texas Utah Vermont Virginia * Washington Wisconsin Wyoming 23 states now require demonstration of language proficiency for some aspect of teacher credentialing. Boldface = States where this is a requirement for all language teacher candidates in order to be certified to teach in that state. Boldface + * = Required for some languages; available as alternative for other languages Non-boldface = States where this is a requirement for teacher candidates in only some languages * = State where this is a requirement for those seeking alternative certification

Which standards to use? 2002 (ACTFL/NCATE) or 2013 (ACTFL/CAEP)? Regional Conference Session - Linking Standards and Proficiency to Your Classroom Which standards to use? 2002 (ACTFL/NCATE) or 2013 (ACTFL/CAEP)? Use one set or the other, don’t mix them If your program starts with 2002, continue with that set until it achieves national recognition even if it takes until after spring 2016. You are “in the pipeline.” 2014 – fall 2015 2002 or 2013 Spring 2016 forward 2013 Except for programs in the pipeline of resubmissions, who may still be using 2002 in 2016. Example for report due in fall 2017 if you give the assessment in fall 2016 and spring 2017, that's two applications and you have your data to put in your report in fall 2017. If you give the assessment only in the fall you can give it in fall 2015 and again in fall 2016 and you'll have the data you need for the report in fall 2017.  If you give the assessment in the spring only, then you can give it in spring 2016 and 2017 and put it in the report you write in fall 2017.
