November PD for CFB LOTE

The mission of CFB LOTE:
To create competent and confident
communicators in the languages we offer.
Goals for this PD:
·       I can compare my classroom learning experiences and planning practices with those of highly effective language teachers.
·       I can identify the ACTFL benchmarks which correspond to the proficiency level of my learners.
·       I can identify strategies and techniques used to engage students and stay in the target language 90%+
·       To share and collaborate with colleagues while preparing lessons guided by ACTFL standards and the intent to use the target language
Framing: Self-reflection (tools from the Tell project)
Where am I as a teacher?
Where are my students?
2017 ACTFL proficiency guidelines: benchmarks  
What are our beliefs as a district? What are the implications? (Stanford survey) : Survey results in PDF
How much of the target language do we use as a district? (for district use only: study is incomplete but interesting)
How do we do it? (pre-workshop assignment)
Video:
The video we watched before coming today: the TELL project addresses comprehensible input: what are your takeaways?

Other videos for sharing together:
  1. The nature of language… intuitive and subconscious…(simplistic but a résumé of current research about language acquisition and how we learn)
  2. What about shy kids in my class? They are afraid of making mistakes!
  3. How can I check for understanding?
  4. How can I assess my students?  (also: TPR used to measure reading comp. in Hardy's level 1 class)
  5. Movie talk: TPRS staying in the target language (in Spanish much longer, but the techniques are easy to follow)
  6. Spanish 1 first day with Karen Rowan (In Spanish and long but covers many techniques and worth it)

Other resources:
Sharing and planning by level:
Discussion of new adoption: where are we? What do we need?

Friday afternoon Spanish:
AP prep:
Discussion of the realignment of NS 1 and NS 2. Native speaker realignment: what resources will we need?
Curriculum construction. AP themes. Discussion of Autentico 3 and 4, Abriendo Paso and Diaz. What other resources do we need? Curriculum discussion for NS classes: Themes and structure.
Newsela as an example of differentiation possible in mixed level classes.
Individual time: asked to open Pearson site and evaluate Autentico 3 and 4.
All levels: with colleagues, open a description of what you have done so far this year: compare.
Discuss what you still need to do your job in the classroom.
Compare where you are with the ACTFL benchmarks: if your students were tested independently where would they score?
