Looking for some PD fun with me in July 16-19 close to Virginia and North Carolina or contemplating teaching AP Spanish-come to the Meredith College Advanced Placement Summer Institute. meredith.edu/summer-programs…#FLAVA, #FLANC, #AATSP, #langchat
Love that @lovemysummer has a whistle for games in Spanish class! 😆Shout Shout game includes 2 notecards per vocab term and 2 teams. First one to stand up & shout the word when she says it, wins a point for the team. Print a master sheet of the words. #scolt24
.@_SCOLT_ made me ask myself this question all weekend….. “but what do world language teachers need?” Curriculum models? PD? Workshops? K-12-University partnerships? More funding? #langchat
Thank you, @_SCOLT_ , for the opportunity to present this weekend! It was great talking to & learning from inspirational WL colleagues! @NatLatinExam @ACLClassics
Just 2 amazing people I got to see at @_SCOLT_ & actually remembered to take pics with. Blessed to have reconnected with so many wonderful WL teachers & leaders! Need to remember to take more pics in the future (apologies to everyone I saw but didn’t get to take pics with)!
