GLP Summer Institute: Unit Plan Creation
Dates: July 14th to 16th, 2015

GLP's Summer Institute is an intensive three-day program designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of K-12 teachers of world languages. The Summer Institute will cover a range of topics including:

•  Implementing the World Readiness Standards
•  Teaching proficiency versus performance
•  Checking for understanding
•  Integrating the three modes of communication
•  Comprehensible input
•  Use of authentic materials and artifacts

The Summer Institute will be taught by nationally recognized instructors of world language teaching including Helena Curtain, Lori Langer de Ramirez, and Thomas Sauer. By the end of the three-day institute teachers will have completed a unit plan that can be used in the fall. This is a unique opportunity for K – 12 world language teachers to advance their practice.
