What activities have you done for the World Language Program Review this year?
Demonstrator 1a. Student Access
All students should have equitable access to high quality curriculum and instruction.
Proficient
a) The school provides regular opportunities for all students, including English Language Learners (ELL), to learn and develop benchmarked proficiencies in at least one world language and provide multiple opportunities for all students to experience a range of global cultures, issues and connections (e.g., by scheduling time for instruction, providing resources and monitoring).
Some examples of classroom activities that would fit this standard are:
Foreign Exchange Program, opportunities to travel abroad, ESL/ELL Staff & Schedule, Curriculum Maps, Lesson Plans, Syllabus, Master Schedule, Appalachian artifacts, American Sign Language club, incorporating global issues or cultures into your content through reading, writing, or discussion.
If you have anything that fits in this area that you can document, please include your evidence and remember to save it using the standard format
WL CI Dem 1a-dellis14-15.
Success With Higher Standards
Southwestern High School will strive to graduate every student college/career ready and prepared for the 21st century.
