Diversity
Training
Exploring other languages and cultures
is one of the most effective means of
helping students embrace diversity. For
districts interested in offering a
program that focuses explicitly on
diversity, a workshop can be designed to
complement your program.
Exchange
Programs
Enrich your
school by participating in student and
teacher exchange programs. Contact us
to find out about some of the available
opportunities.
Grant
Writing
Feel free to contact us for assistance
with identifying and submitting local
and federal grants to support your
language initiatives. Because this
service is supported by a federal grant,
the Foreign Language Assistance Program,
it is provided at no cost to our
districts.
Guidance
for New Program Development
Would you like to explore the
possibility of implementing a new
language program?
We can help support your initiative in
many ways. For example, we can implement
a needs analysis by designing surveys,
inputting responses, and presenting the
results. We can also provide guidance by
participating on a committee that is
working on a proposal. We are also
available to make formal presentations
related to language learning to such
groups as PTAs and Boards of
Education. Because these services are
supported by a federal grant, the
Foreign Language Assistance Program,
they are provided at no cost to our
districts.
Immersion
Programs for Teachers

listserv to keep informed about

Language Clubs
Maintain your language abilities and
knowledge of culture by meeting with
colleagues on a regular basis to discuss
such topics as novels, movies, and
current events. A highly proficient
speaker will lead the discussions.
