TitleFree K-8 Assessment Workshop
Body
The Ohio Department of Education and the Early Language Learning Committee of the Ohio Foreign Language Association are pleased to announce a FREE assessment workshop for K-8 World Language educators (and university methods instructors) on Saturday, May 22. The event will take place at Bishop Hartley High School, 1285 Zettler Rd. Columbus, OH 43227 from 9:30-1:30.

Light snacks will be available beginning at 9:00 AM and the workshop will begin promptly at 9:30. Please bring your own beverage and munchies to nibble throughout the day.

Pre-registration is essential as space is limited to 30 participants. Please go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RM7JVFT to register.

During the workshop, we will connect virtually with Lynn Thompson from the Center for Applied Linguistics. Lynn will introduce both the Teacher Observation Matrix and the Student Oral Proficiency Assessment. Through a blend of presentation, pair work on computers, and group processing, you will gain familiarity with strategies to assess early language learners.

Following this introduction workshop, participants who wish to complete CAL’s online SOPA training will receive a stipend from ODE to cover half the tuition of the course ($50 of $99).

The workshop and stipend are made possible through ODE’s Foreign Language Assistance Program grant, funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
