LOTE: Articulated World Language Thematic Curriculum Design
October 5, 2018 from 8:30 am-3:00 pm
Room 42 @ Allegany-Limestone CSD (3131 5 Mile Road)
Articulation is intentional curriculum design for language performance and proficiency goals between levels, buildings and schools. This workshop guides department chairs and teacher leaders to design thematic curriculum for intercultural competence. This course guides teachers through a model framework, aligning Understanding by Design with the World Readiness standards. We will explore universal intercultural perspectives that unfold global themes over the language curriculum. Teachers will use a template to design a thematic, culture-driven curricular unit in the three stages of Understanding by Design specific for World Languages that they can later use to turnkey their department.
Teachers who attended March 9, 2018 will see how their performance assessments are aligned with an articulated curriculum design for their K-12, 7-12, 9-12 or 7-14 curriculum.
