“Planning for and Getting Results: Clarifying Our Work in K-8 Language Learning”
· Gain a greater understanding of the proficiency scale and what proficiencies are likely attainable by their elementary students, given time and experience
· Look at student- and parent-friendly descriptors of likely targeted proficiencies that can help frame realistic expectation-setting by students and parents (and even administrators and counselors)
· Examine “backward design” as a viable organizing principal for developing thematic units and daily lesson plans
· Look at a number of thematic unit exemplars
· Have the opportunity to develop, in an environment structured to provide support, 3 days worth of lesson plans using a backward design template
· Exploring assessment options (observation checklists, external assessments) for elementary programs that take into consideration the limited amount of available time to conduct them
· Discussing the power of external data as a determiner of student progress and program goal attainment
