Title: Article Provides Formula for Talking about Controversial Issues with Young Students
Body: From http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/12/guns-in-the-classroom/281663 Foreign language teachers often like to include current events and global politic in their curriculum. However, since these are often controversial topics, teachers may be worried about offending students, parents, or administrators. Here is a recent article about how one teacher talks about current events with middle school students. Although the topic she uses as an example is gun control, the formula she describes could apply to any controversial topic. Read the article in the Atlantic here: http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/12/guns-in-the-classroom/281663 Read a summary of the author’s recommendations here: http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teaching_now/2013/12/a_formula_for_teaching_controversial_topics.html

Title: NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements
Body: From http://www.actfl.org/publications/guidelines-and-manuals/ncssfl-actfl-can-do-statements The NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements represent the culmination of a collaborative effort between the National Council of State Supervisors (NCSSFL) and ACTFL, to connect NCSSFL's LinguaFolio with ACTFL's Proficiency Guidelines. The combination of these two documents into a single, cohesive set of statements makes clear how the performance that language learners demonstrate into the familiar context of the instructional setting points toward a targeted proficiency level. Language educators have requested a clear connection of these two major initiatives, so useful to guide educators and learners. The Can-Do Statements help learners identify what they need to do to function at a specific level of proficiency. The statements also help educators plan curriculum, units of instruction, and daily lessons to help learners improve their performance and reach a targeted level of proficiency. Through multiple opportunities to show that they "can do" in classroom formative and summative assessment, unit by unit, learners collect the evidence that points toward a specific proficiency level. The proof that a learner has reached a proficiency level can only occur through an independent assessment of proficiency such as the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview or Writing Proficiency Test; however, the Can-Do Statements provide a tool for leaners to chart their progress and for educators to organize and support the learning.
