World Language Teacher Mentoring Program Pilot

The Colorado Congress of Foreign Language Teachers is pleased to announce that starting next fall they will be piloting a statewide World Language Teacher Mentoring Program for our members. At this point they are trying to assess the level of interest in such a program. Please read through the following two sets of questions. If your answer is yes to some of the questions in either set, perhaps you would be interested in having a mentor or serving as one.

* Do you feel isolated because you are the only World Language teacher in your school or district?
* Are you unsure of what the new State W.L. Standards are and how they incorporate the 3 Modes of Communication?
* Are you curious about how to create formative and summative assessments in the 3 Modes?
* Have you been wanting to tryout an Integrated Performance Assessment in your classroom, but needed some help from a colleague?
* Would you like some support regarding instruction, assessment, technology, and/or classroom management?
* Could you use information regarding teaching students with disabilities?
* Would you like to have copies of ACTFL's Keys to the Classroom, and Keys to Assessment?
* Would you like to earn CDE Re-certification credit for working with a CCFLT Mentor?

If you answered yes to several of these questions, then perhaps you would like to be paired with a CCFLT World Language Mentor. If so, please click on this link to a very short survey and pilot program committee members will get back to you soon with more information: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/R8Y2MFC

* Do you feel like you have a pretty good understanding of the new State W.L. standards and how they incorporate the 3 Modes of Communication?
* Have you started writing formative and summative assessments in the 3 Modes in your own classroom?
* Have you had a chance to pilot an Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA)?
* Would you like to support another teacher who has questions regarding instruction, assessment, technology and/or classroom management?
* Would you like to attend a training session for Mentors?
* Would you like to earn CDE Recertification credit for working with a CCFLT Mentee?

If you answered yes to several of these questions, then perhaps you would like to serve as a CCFLT World Language Mentor. If so, please click on this link to a very short survey and the committee members will get back to you soon with more information: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/R8Y2MFC
