I truly feel that I am a lifelong learner and can't seem to stop taking advantage of Professional Development opportunities. When possible, I try to stay in tune with new methods and best practices. Below is some information about some of the recent PD opportunities I have attended.
World LanguagesFebruary 2015- I attended and presented at the Southwest Conference of Language Teachers (SWCOLT). This is a regional conference and was hosted by CCFLT. I came out inspired by ideas from teachers from the area and was glad to have been accepted as a presenter.
February 2014- I attended the Colorado Congress of Foreign Language Teachers (CCFLT) conference in Loveland, CO. I attended two full days of workshops by teachers from across the state regarding best-practices in World Languages. I learned a lot that will be taken back into the classroom immediately!
December 2013- I attended a three day workshop in Loveland, CO to participate in the Colorado Department of Education's Phase III of the Sample Curriculum Project. I was able to meet with a small group of amazing World Language teachers from all over the state to create curriculum to be used as samples throughout the state. I will facilitate more curriculum writing with CDE in the Spring. |
