This webinar is offered free of charge for educators and administrators working and studying in New York State educational institutions.
Webinar description: This webinar will focus on the implementation of the culminating project into the World Language classroom. Participants will learn a school's journey into creating an equitable process. Participants will learn how to integrate the Seal of Biliteracy process and goals into their lessons by using the World Language Thematic units and Modes of communications to achieve the goals of both Checkpoint C courses and the Seal of Biliteracy. Specific examples will be provided and explained. If time allows, hands-on activities will allow teachers to begin to implement this model immediately in their classroom.
