President's Corner ~ A Message from Leslie Boaz
Language learning is my passion and I am excited to be a part of the energy and enthusiasm of a great group of teachers that truly care about their work. I cannot think of anything else I would rather do than share my love and knowledge for world languages and cultures with my students. Join me and the rest of the WFLTA Executive Council on the great journey of change and discovery in teaching our students for the 21st Century!
The President's News Update:
June 8, 2010
Two committees have recently been formed to work on some very important endeavors. In April, the Wyoming School – UW Partnership, P-16 Council, and language teachers from across state met and started the discussion of articulation across the levels. The Wyoming Department of Education formed a Foreign Language Standards Review Committee and beginning in June began work on reviewing the existing standards. These are both long term projects with both groups meeting for meaningful discussions that will end with decisions that can only improve the quality of language instruction and student expectations and performance for Wyoming language students.
The graduating class of 2011 will be the first group of Wyoming students required to meet the full language requirement of the Success Curriculum to qualify for the Hathaway Merit Scholarship. Many language colleagues spent numerous hours laying the ground work for inclusion in the Success Curriculum, which occurred in 2006. This year we may need to rally ourselves and our message to keep language as a key component in helping student be college ready through their Success Curriculum studies.
