TELL SPARK is a unique professional learning experience for teachers wanting to infuse a proficiency-mind set into their world language program as outlined by the Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning (TELL) Framework and design engaging work for the 2016-2017 school year. SPARK will take place June 20-22, 2016 in Memphis, TN, for this multi-level group, including teachers who are new to proficiency, those who are already working with it and those teachers who just want a refresher to create resources and tools to take back to your classroom or program that are ready to use. This intimate professional learning session will be facilitated by leaders in the world language field, Thomas Sauer and Alyssa Villarreal, and will provide you with the time and resources you need in order to accomplish your mission. And when you are finished, you'll leave with a newly designed unit or lesson plans for your students or a redesign of one of your existing units—the choice is yours.

The Federal policy statement recognizes the cultural and linguistic assets of this population of children, and provides important resources and recommendations to the early childhood field to ensure that our nation’s early education programs are accessible to these families, and that they appropriately foster the learning and development of this large and growing group of children.

Title: TEQ Video #9: Zhangyi Shi’s Chinese Class at Collegiate School in Virginia
Body:
From http://asiasociety.org/china-learning-initiatives/teq-series
Each year, Asia Society selects 5–10 Chinese teachers as Teaching Fellows. These selected teachers create, develop, and polish lesson plans. Asia Society then films the classroom of each selected teacher, and edits these to guide viewers to think and reflect on what they are observing in each video, to try and bridge the gap between instructional standards and classroom implementation. Part of Asia Society's professional development series for educators, these instructional videos for Chinese language teachers aim to share best practices in the field of Chinese language teaching.
The latest video in the series features Zhangyi Shi's intermediate-low Chinese class at Collegiate School in Richmond, Virginia. You can see it at http://asiasociety.org/china-learning-initiatives/zhangyi-shis-high-school-intermediate-low-chinese-class
