Friday Keynote
Learning Languages for World-Readiness: Inspire and Engage Learners

World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages connect world languages with 21^stcentury skills and literacies. What are the implications of the “refreshed” National Standards for planning programs, creating assessments, and designing learning experiences that will help our learners progress from their first experience through professional applications of their language skills? How do we know learners are making progress to higher levels of proficiency – and more importantly, what evidence is valued by our learners?

Saturday Keynote
Paul Sandrock: Connecting with Literacy: Transform Language Learning

The three modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational) provide a lens to embed literacy, collaboration, critical thinking, and a global competence in language learning. Join this conversation to transform the development, practice, and assessment of languages support educator effectiveness efforts you are already leading locally.

Saturday Special Presentation
Oregon Seal of Biliteracy

David Bautista of the Oregon Department of Education will present on the Oregon State Seal of Biliteracy, which is taking shape as six school districts and one community school have stepped forward to pilot the criteria for our nascent State Seal of Biliteracy. The ODE Equity Unit is coordinating this project with our colleagues to field test the Seal's criteria.

Workshops (Friday and Saturday)
