SUMMARY:Paving the Path to World Language Proficiency: Adopting a Can-Do Attitude
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Griffin\, Director of Content Specialty\, World Languages\, Carnegie Learning; and Andrew Bowen\, Director of Instructional Design\, World Languages\, Carnegie Learning \nSponsored by Carnegie Learning \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nMany world language educators are faced with the challenge of implementing a more proficiency-based approach to language instruction but are limited by their traditional world language materials. Adopting a growth mindset can be the first step in overcoming this hurdle. Studies show that a growth mindset increases student motivation\, achievement\, and willingness to take risks—all vital skills to language acquisition. Building a growth mindset culture empowers students and teachers alike to view challenges as opportunities and celebrate their growth and successes. \nAs we apply this mindset to world language instruction\, we flip the switch on traditionally structured lessons and take a deep dive into results-driven lesson design. We also consider how realistic goal setting with Can-Do statements can facilitate growth in proficiency. In this edWebinar\, viewers take the next steps for their own growth by: \n\nAnalyzing the benefits and strategies of fostering growth mindset skills in the language classroom\nUsing Can-Do statements to prioritize performance and proficiency\nSetting skill-based goals for students and practicing backward design to elicit tangible evidence of student growth\nWorkshopping content by breaking it into small “chunks” for students to use with communicative tasks\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nMichael Griffin taught Spanish and French for 16 years before joining Carnegie Learning\, Inc. He has taught at the elementary\, middle\, and high school levels and in both public and private school settings. He worked as a scoring leader for the Praxis French exam and was also an AP Spanish Language reader. As Director of World Language Content Specialty\, Michael is responsible for leading the team that delivers world language presentations for state and local review committees. He has also developed educational content materials for Carnegie Learning world language programs and has presented at many regional and national conferences\, including NECTFL\, CSCTFL\, and ACTFL. \n\nAs a former world languages educator and lifelong language learner\, Andrew Bowen has devoted his professional (and at times\, personal!) life to ensuring that all students have access to effective language learning resources. His current role as Director of Instructional Design for World Languages is led by his passion for languages being learned the right way\, with students feeling empowered to put these important skills to practical use and having tangible evidence of their multilingual accomplishments. In addition to his classroom experience\, Andrew has ten years of experience developing content for language acquisition in both K-12 and higher ed\, connecting classrooms with proficiency-based learning and assessment materials\, and advocating for the advancement of language programs across the nation. As part of his graduate studies with Middlebury College\, he lived in both Spain and Latin America\, and currently resides in the D.C. Metro Area. \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the Language and Literacy community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n \nCarnegie Learning is shaping the future of education.

Learn ways you can deliberately support skills such as phonemic awareness\, phonics\, and the development of sight vocabulary while you meanwhile rally kids to put their lives and their ideas onto the page. Vowel charts\, one-minute pauses for spell checks\, and the habit of clapping out multisyllabic words can help youngsters write so others can read their writing. \nThis edWebinar shows you ways to bring the Science of Reading into your writing instruction in practical ways that you can use immediately. View this session to learn about: \n\nStudying students’ writing to understand their phonics development and to plan next steps\nHelping kids develop the tools and habits to draw on their phonics knowledge as they write\nTransferable high-leverage small groups that will accelerate kids’ command of phonics skills\nSongs\, games\, conversations\, and partner work that can reinforce phonemic awareness—especially segmenting and blending of phonemes—in playful\, innovative ways\nThe power of shared and interactive writing to encourage transfer from isolation to connected text\n\nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-5 teachers and school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nNatalie Louis is a Senior Lead Staff Developer at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project. Natalie has been a lead researcher in TCRWP’s work with phonics instruction and Science of Reading.

CoherentED firmly believes that every school system’s approach to the teaching and learning engagement of our youngest learners is critical. By attending the webinars with Dr. Clabaugh and Ms. Drezner\, which is a learning space for UPK leaders and educators to develop and evaluate UPK plans that keep the learners and their families in the center of their thinking\, they learn ways to approach the outcomes and make decisions that meet the diverse needs of young learners. We believe that implementing Universal Preschool well will lead to greater equity and opportunities to stop doing school TO kids and start doing school WITH kids!™
