All materials presented at the 2012 Summer Institutes Content sessions for World Languages were prepared by the Proficiency 101 Team. "The Proficiency 101 Project is driven by a team charged with creating a foundation of resources and PD content materials that will help teachers: As a team member, we had three, 2 day face to face meetings in Raleigh, in November, February and April. In addition we collaborated via webinars and google documents. We also worked with Paul Sandrock, author of various books on teaching to increase proficiency, and a former president of ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) I have uploaded to this page some slides I found very valuable to help all our staff understand the WLES. If you wish to see anything in more detail please visit the WLES Wiki through the link below.
 * Understand the 8 proficiency levels in the World Language Essential Standards.

Penzu is an excellent place for teachers to keep their reflections about lessons, workshops, meetings and more. It then becomes a piece of concrete evidence for Standard V: "Teachers reflect on their practice" of the North Carolina Teacher Evaluation System. || Free web-based private journal and diary. According to the Penzu, studies have shown that keeping a journal can not only boost your “working memory” but your grades too. One of the best things about Penzu is that it's incredibly easy to use. Whatever you write is saved automatically and you can insert images if you like. You can keep your entries private or share them with others. Penzu can easily be used for class writing projects or students can access the program for keeping their own personal notes (accessible from any computer). http://penzu.com/ || Welcome to a session where we will be able to **identify, explain** and **apply** the components of Backwards Design to the CC/ES and Curriculum Mapper through hands-on activities. **Be ready to be engaged and to have fun.**
