Summary:
|
The World Language Adoption Committee began meeting in December 2021. Middle schools and High School communities across the district were invited to participate in the adoption process.The team included teachers and district administrators. Teachers worked in" language like" teams: Spanish, French and German as they went through the review process. The committee decided to review programs that were on the WL State Adopted list and that had 6th-12th grade materials. Teachers attended presentations from Carnegie Learning and Vista Learning: Both companies presented textbooks in the 3 languages taught in the district. Teachers received materials and digital access to both programs. The pilot extended from January to March.
On March 7th ( professional development day) teachers met in person to evaluate each curriculum. Teachers worked in language-like groups and middle school and high school teachers were able to exchange ideas about the two programs as well as their digital platforms. Materials were available for community review from March 14-18 at Willow Creek Center.
Teachers had the opportunity to vote online for the program that they thought would be best for their students. Based on these results we are recommending the adoption of Carnegie Learning for Spanish, German, and French.
The contract would include online, printed materials and teacher professional development. This contract is for 8 years. |
