Join CASLS Director Julie Sykes and CASLS Assistant Director Stephanie Knight in Meaningful Portfolio Implementation: Using Goal Setting, Reflection, and Thinking Routines to Enhance Student Proficiency.

June 28–July 30, 2021
Asynchronous 5-week online summer institute with synchronous components

Goal setting and reflective practices are critical components of improved outcomes in world language classrooms. In the first part of this institute, participants will examine the reflective cycle developed by the National Council of State Supervisors for Languages (NCSSFL), empirical findings related to goal setting and language portfolio use, and a series of practical approaches to implementing reflective practice in the classroom. Next, participants will experience, examine, and design their own learning scenarios that yield higher-order cognitive and social engagement for learners. They will then draw explicit connections between these scenarios and language portfolio use.
