ACTFL provides a number of educator resources to guide language teachers' "strategy and practice". The 2012 Proficiency Guidelines, 2012 Performance Descriptors, and 2017 Can-Do Statements documents can be used together to support teachers' development of appropriate, relevant and measurable objectives which can be used in self-assessment. Click the images below to access those resources, or click the titles below each document to visit ACTFL's resource pages for each material. See the Can-Do Training Video for more information on how to utilize these materials.
