This means that I receive free technology, including 10 iPads for my students, plus a Chromebook, a laptop, and an iPad for me to play with in exchange for participating in a series of professional development and training sessions and passing my new knowledge on to my colleagues. As part of the Pinnacle Leaders program, we also blog about our experiences:. Pinnacle Leader Training Summaries. GUEST POST: Kids T...

PBL in the TL: AAPPL Measures and IPAS
http://www.pblinthetl.com/2014/11/aappl-measures-and-ipas.html
AAPPL Measures and IPAS. Do you know how much impact that Issues in Teaching Foreign Languages or Masterpieces of Hispanic Art and Literature exam has had on me as a teacher, mother, wife, or friend- or even as a speaker of Spanish? I mean, getting an A always gave me a charge, a sense of validation. But getting it from a test? It meant I could play The Game, and, brother, that game that ended when I got that last piece of paper. Now people insist on seeing. To justify giving me a pay raise. Now I've bee...

The Architect and The Artist. Think On These Things. Teaching Spanish Literature {short stories}. Friday, March 8, 2013. Affiliate links used.}. One of my favorite parts of teaching Spanish is reading real literature (not just stories written for language learners) with my students. Recently, I started reading literature with my high school son. I was amazed at how much he enjoyed the stories and how much more engaged he was than when working on grammar or vocabulary. By Luis C. Infante -. By Gregorio Lo...

PBL in the TL: SAT Prep Goals: Teach beyond the test
http://www.pblinthetl.com/2015/08/sat-prep-goals-teach-beyond-test.html
SAT Prep Goals: Teach beyond the test. SAT Prep doesn't have to be about the test. Especially with the new format, it comes down to what students need. If they need to parse scientific, literary, or historical texts, WHY do they need to do it? What situation in their lives might demand it? What do they WANT to use those skills to understand, to accomplish? As English electives go, SAT Prep is no Creative Writing or Film and Literature. Personalized teaching to the test. College Board and Khan Academy.

PBL in the TL: Interactive Infograph Proficiency Portfolio
http://www.pblinthetl.com/2015/06/interactive-infograph-proficiency.html
Interactive Infograph Proficiency Portfolio. When students leave my class, they should have a record of what they've accomplished, tangible evidence of their proficiency. I want them to have that evidence at their fingertips when they're applying for jobs or looking to skip some college Spanish courses down the road. A portfolio is a useful tool. Also, as I am often reminded, proficiency is by definition something demonstrated consistently. With a variety of functions, contexts, and text types. That they...

PBL in the TL: Spanglish Teaching
http://www.pblinthetl.com/p/beyond-spanish.html
I call myself a Spanglish teacher because so much of what I want to help students understand about themselves. Cannot be contained in one language. What's more, a lot of what I do in the Spanish classroom comes from my training as an English teacher first. Plus, I'm generally happiest when I get to teach both Spanish and English in the same semester. PBL in the TL" stands for Project-Based Learning in the Target Language, but I also post about my English class discoveries from time to time:. The goal for...
