Dear Colleagues,

As 2^nd VP of the New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers (NYSAFLT), I wanted to share with you the work we have been doing on Common Core and World Languages (WL). We created a resource page for our members, but it is open to all. We will add more resources and information to the webpage during the year, but we hope that it will be a resource for ALL World Language teachers/administrators as they create modules for CCSS and WL (LOTE) during the 2012-2013 school year.

We are holding a 30 hour PD Summer Institute in August; if you wish to send a teacher or administrator for more training on CCSS, APPR, item writing and other worthwhile workshops on World Languages, please visit:

Also, our many webinars offer great PD for WL teachers – check them out! We will post our 2012-2013 webinars soon!
