Hi all,
I am feeling grateful, excited and energized- even after a long Monday! November and December are two of my favorite months because they always include loved ones and professional learning. (My enneagram friends will see the Type 3 shining through in that last sentence!) This weekend I attended (and presented at) the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language‘s Conference, tomorrow I head home to Tennessee to see my family, and the following week I head to Seattle for NAIS’s People of Color Conference. So much joy behind and ahead of me!
Below you’ll find my Sketch Notes from ACTFL. A huge thank you to everyone who shared their expertise this weekend. Look for Sketch Notes from PoCC in the coming weeks!
Love and light,
LK
Mastery-Based Assessment in World Language Programs by Erika Carlson and ME!
This was my first presentation at a national conference- a goal I set for myself before I turn 30. I completed it with about 2 months to spare! We had such great conversations with folks about rethinking the purpose of grading and the difference between our intended impact and the actual impact on our students.
