An On Campus Residential Program

With a Scholarship

For PA World Language Teachers K-12

About the Institute:

100 World Language teachers will be accepted and provided with a full scholarship for meals, housing, program of study, materials and two graduate credits (and/or 60 Act # 48 credit hours).

·         Alignment of standards-based instruction and assessment

·         Utilization of technology to support and globalize learning

·        Comparisons of FLES, FLEX, and IMMERSION

·         A True World Language Connections Standard that demonstrates an integrated curriculum where proficiency levels in literacy and mathematics (Assessment Anchors) will be increased throughout the schools of Pennsylvania. 

To be assured of full consideration, please fill out the Advance Scholarship Application only On-Line at http://www.papde.ws  by April 27, 2007.  (No paper apps accepted!)
