Mentorship Videos
SCFLTA members represent a wide range of experiences, and backgrounds. To leverage the great expertise that exists throughout the state, we are creating a series of short (1 – 7 minutes) mentoring videos answering questions such as “What best practices do you apply regularly in your WL classroom?” and “How do I get my students to use the target language?” The videos will be made available on our website to members and non-members of SCFLTA
If you would like to participate or if you have any questions about the videos, please contact Heather Giles at [email protected] , or any other board member.
Thanks,

FLAVA’s Teacher Education Workshop Series
Mark your calendars for free virtual learning with FLAVA throughout the 2024-25 school year! See the first semester options below.
Virtual FLAVA Teacher Education Workshops are free to members of FLAVA’s sister state organizations in Virginia's two regional organizations, the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (NECTFL) and the Southern Conference on Language Teaching (SCOLT). Each workshop provides one hour of credits toward license recertification. Register individually for each session using the links below.
Tuesday, September 10, 2024 @ 4:30 PM. Beckie Bray Rankin, winner of the 2023 ACTFL Nelson Brooks Award for the Excellence of Teaching for Culture, will share Decolonizing: starting with resources. REGISTER HERE
Description: The act of decolonizing curriculum can start from a mind shift of prioritizing underrepresented voices over those who are often heard. Together, we’ll find small and big ways to include visual and performing artists outside of the European canon in our lessons, from street art to sports to slam.
Thursday, October 3, 2024 @ 5:00 PM. Join dynamic speaker, Taron Ware, for Practical Tips and Tools for Proficiency-aligned Teaching. REGISTER HERE
When we focus on what students can do with language, we break down barriers and open up a world of student-focused communicative possibilities in our classrooms. In this workshop we will briefly review the concept of proficiency-aligned language teaching and examine practical ways to place this mindset at the forefront of our instructional design. Participants will leave this session equipped with a proficiency-centered toolkit of practical ideas, as well as tangible takeaways for immediate implementation in the classroom.
Tuesday, December 3, 2024 @ 4:00 PM Sally Barnes & Beth Slocum, both past presidents of the New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers (NYSAFLT), will present: Leveraging Literacy Strategies in World Language. REGISTER HERE
