Tailor Your Program to Meet Your Students’ Needs
Presented by:
Andres Bernal, M.Ed., Experienced World Languages and ESOL Coordinator
Roger Burt, M.A., Experienced Spanish Teacher
Public and private educational organizations have used a cookie-cutter approach to academic instruction for years. One size fits all but DLI programs should be seen using different lenses to get the right optic and create ideal results in our context. Each program and each student deserves an individualized game plan to meet their specific needs and explore their unique potential to grow linguistically and academically.
Analogies and comparisons from multiple areas outside of the world of education will be used to illustrate why and how to use data to drive program improvement and individual support. The paths to proficiency need to have well-planned checkpoints to identify strengths, and weaknesses and adjust our compass to get to our desired destination faster.
