AAPPL Familiarization Training for World Language Teachers
The Blackstone Valley Curriculum Consortium is sponsoring a full day training for our World Language Teachers.
Description: This one-day introduction to the ACTFL Assessment of Performance towards Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) is intended for all language professionals. This workshop will link Proficiency and Performance and how the assessment can be used to measure growth in the three modes of communication. Identifying what makes a learner Novice, Intermediate, or Advanced will be addressed and ideas for moving students along the continuum will be of great help to classroom teachers. Participants will work to develop a student-friendly rubric and practice using it to rate samples.
There will be no cost to the districts that send teachers to this as the BVCC is paying for the costs associated with it. At this time, each BVCC school district has 2 slots to send teachers. If you have not filled your slots by Friday, September 28th, these slots will be offered to other school districts. Participants interested need to speak to their district BVCC representative.

Location: Millbury Jr/Sr High School, Media Center
Presenter: James Monk, QA Manager and AAPPL rater, ACTFL
Audience: World Language Instructors
