| Designing
and Delivering the Secondary and K-12 Curriculum.
One of the three "core courses" in the Secondary/K-12 Holmes Program intended
to address issues relevant to Interns' continued growth as reflective practitioners.
Specific topics are: language, literacy, and reading; student needs and
characteristics; multicultural and global education; uses of technology;
assessment and evaluation; and professional development. This course presents
an interdisciplinary perspective including all secondary/K-12 cohorts (i.e.,
art, English, foreign language, kinesiology, mathematics, science, and
social studies). One important component of this course was the construction
of a professional electronic portfolio based on the adopted College of
Education design of PASS-PORT. These portfolios are online and on CD. Several
examples were submitted to the NCATE review and used by students in their
interviews for teaching positions.
Integrating Culture and History in the Foreign/Second Language Class, K-12 (Summer 2002) One of two graduate courses which constituted a four-week immersion summer institute for teachers of French, K-12. Focused on the historical content, culture, civilization, events and people of the Louisiana Purchase era 1800-1812, and on their legacy and impact on contemporary Louisiana. Participants created activities supported by the Louisiana Standards, technology, whole language, theme teaching, project teaching, and content teaching. Participating teachers discussed pedagogical issues and the integration of social studies, literature, arts, music, technology and culture in their foreign language classes, schools and communities. Fifteen guest speakers were invited. Included visits to, and on-site research at, special collections libraries, historical sites, museums and archives. Some samples of students' work. photos Integrating Technology in the Foreign/Second Language Class, K-12 (Summer 2002) One of two graduate courses which constituted a four-week immersion summer teacher institute for teachers of French, K-12. Working in groups or individually, participants created web-modules using the activities designed in the course described above, to be used in their classrooms. Also included visits to, and on-site research at, special collections libraries, historical sites, museums and archives. Some samples of students' work. photos Integrating Technology in the Foreign/Second Language Class. (Summer 2000). Based on individual selections of a theme, or of a book from children's literature in their target language (French, Spanish, ESL, Latin), and on content and interdisciplinary teaching, whole language, group work, cooperation and collaboration, participants created a teaching unit for their classes. This course stressed the exploration of Internet resources and team work on a specific project to be posted on the web. Participants worked in their respective target languages to design classroom-ready activities and material to expand their students' skills and cultural awareness and motivate them to create in the target language. All languages, all levels. Principles and Current Research Related to the Teaching of Foreign Languages K-12.Compressed Video Course. This course was destined to anyone interested in the development of the Foreign Language field throughout the past five years, including the new national and regional standards and recent research. Teachers in the field considered what this research can bring to their classrooms, and defined an area in their teaching they wanted to more specifically document and develop (i.e., creative writing, theme teaching, integrating culture, etc.). Graduate students defined an area of interest and developed a thorough literature review as exploration for their Master's Thesis or their Doctoral Dissertation. Foreign
Language Standards and Creativity, K-12. (Summer
1999). Based on content-teaching, interdisciplinarity, whole
language, cooperation and collaboration, this course explored the creative
resources of the 5 C in the National and Louisiana Foreign Language Standards:
Communication (communicate in languages other than English); Cultures (acquire
a base knowledge and comprehension of other cultures); Connections (establish
connections with other disciplines); Comparisons (develop some comprehension
of the nature of a language and a culture); Community (participate in a
multilingual community). This course stressed the exploration and use of
internet resources, and team work on a specific project, in the target
language.
