A. Ideas for organizing, publicizing and presenting your workshop
1. OFLA and ODE work closely together so that there is a consistent message.
2. Vertical alignment in your building, district and state is a must.
3. We used our Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES) to drive the instructional shift.
We took the lead and gave input into how our world language teachers would be evaluated.
4. The ODE Model Curriculum and the OFLA weebly provide current and effective resources for
our teachers: IPA samples, authentic resources, rubrics, Can-Do checklists, instructional and
assessment tools, websites for language learners, etc.
5. We use the OFLA listserv to organize workshops, spread the message, share ideas,
answer questions, etc.
6. We created a cohort of teachers that were trained to lead workshops on proficiency,
modes of communication, performance-based assessments, etc.
7. We led (and continue to lead) workshops around the state to get our teachers on board.
8. ODE and OFLA continue to offer free or low-cost professional development around the state,
for teachers who want to learn even more!
