ICTFL World Language Regional Teacher Leader Search – Class of 2014
Planning for Student Growth: The Unit Design and Performance Assessment
ACTFL Guest Trainers: Donna Clementi and Laura Terrill, co-authors of The Keys to Planning for Learning (ACTFL)
Under the Illinois School Code, Senate Bill 7, “Performance Evaluation Reform Act” (PERA), Illinois School Districts must adopt guidelines to measure and document student growth as part of each teacher’s evaluation process. To support Illinois foreign language teachers and programs, ICTFL and ACTFL are collaborating through a performance-based assessment model so teachers will know how to design the unit as a part of a design curriculum that demonstrates student growth and documents language proficiency.
The Illinois Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ICTFL), in collaboration with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), invites you to be part of an exciting statewide world language initiative. We seek teachers who are interested in becoming regional leaders in standards-based instruction and assessment in world languages. If you are selected, training will be provided (details below) and then you will take what you’ve learned, apply it in your classroom and share it with other world language educators in your region of the state. It is anticipated that ICTFL will select and sponsor 25 Teacher Leaders for the Class of 2014 and open the training to an additional paying 75 Teacher Particpants.
