World Languages Collaborative
Saturday, November 5, 2022 9:00 AM - 12:15 PM
Remember, remember the Fifth of November... for collaboration!
World Language professionals come together in each year to share their expertise with colleagues. This collaborative supports professional development needs and encourages participants to explore their interests in teaching and learning, technology, and pedagogy.
This year, our collaborative is virtual and FREE. We look forward to your participation on Saturday, November 5, 2022.
Use this link to participate in all sessions:
Our collaborative uses a hybrid format – part traditional conference and part unconference. Sessions will range from formal to informal. We offer traditional sessions with a theme, presenter, and time for questions. Additionally, we will create space for peer-to-peer learning, collaboration, and creativity based on feedback from the registration form. The most important aspect is that participants can guide the agenda when registering.
We will begin as a whole group with introductions and instructions. Then, we offer three “rounds” of 50-minute sessions. You choose your sessions. Finally, we will reconvene for a closing session.
