Painless Proficiency | Implementing Research-Based Best Practices Without Stress
One-Hour Session for World Language Teachers
Proficiency-based instruction is great for students, but making the shift can be daunting for teachers. In this interactive workshop, participants will discuss what proficiency-based instruction IS, what it ISN’T, and how to address some of its biggest challenges. They will investigate how a traditional instructional approach can dovetail into proficiency-based learning at points such as goal setting, selecting instructional resources, and assessment. Teachers will leave with practical techniques and manageable steps to implement more proficiency-based instruction without the pain of completely changing everything in their curriculum.
In this session participants will:
Review research behind proficiency-based instruction and understand why it is considered best practice
Discuss common objections to proficiency-based instruction and learn techniques to address these challenges in the classroom
Explore practical techniques to include more proficiency-based activities (without changing everything you’re doing now!)
Leave with assessment tools to help manage proficiency-based grading.
In-person or virtual formats available.
