We had a wonderful time at this year’s ACTFL in Washington DC, and we hope you did as well. The energy, excitement, and conversations will help carry us through this academic year.

All sixteen Title VI Language Resource Centers hosted a joint pavilion to showcase the curricular materials, assessments, professional development opportunities, and research of all sixteen centers.

“The joint LRC pavilion was a one-stop spot for attendees to find quality resources and materials,” says CASLS Director and LRC Coordinating Council Chairperson Julie Sykes. “It was also the perfect opportunity to showcase the collaborative work among the LRCs.”

That collaborative work included a session that shared curriculum, assessments, and professional development opportunities available to language educators at no cost. The session was presented by CASLS, the Assessment and Evaluation Language Resource Center, the Center on Open Educational Resources in Language Learning, and the National Foreign Language Center.

Congratulations to Rebecca Blouwolff, a French teacher at Wellesley Middle School in Brookline, MA, who received the 2020 ACTFL Teacher of the Year Award.

Thanks to all of those who introduced themselves and met with us during the convention. We love listening to your ideas and hope to see you next year!
