Hola, Buon Jour, Guten Tag!
OK. I found my way to the blog. Now to blog about the PLC. As you know, I am the only German instructor; however, this has never stopped me from collaborating. My collaborative efforts include sharing with colleagues in professional organizations, reading professional praxis journals, discussing particulars of the language with native speakers in online forums, staying current with the news (German Perspective) and improving my own German with learners worldwide. However, I have yet to find another German teacher working specifically within the PLC framework. In the meantime, I am creating my first summative test based on specific learning targets. To this point, we have had seven learning targets in German II. This will be my first multiple choice test that will be completely gradable via the scantron. This will make the data more dynamic and accessible to all consumers.
