Good morning, World Language Colleagues! Welcome to the 2017 SCFLTA (Un)Conference: Captivate, Innovate, Motivate! We are excited about a new opportunity to share best practices and new ideas for the classroom. In that spirit, we decided to offer a modified unconference format which allows for much more collaborative planning time. We do not know about you, but it is so frustrating to leave inspired by a conference or workshop and then to be faced with the realities of assessing student work and creating lesson plans. The packets of information are too often swept aside or filed for “more time later.” We hope this event will allow you time to walk away with real plans using new techniques for the classroom and to work in the company of those who can offer you expert advice. Special thanks are to Lexington School District One and in particular Meadow Glen Middle School for hosting this event. Enjoy, network and get ready to captivate, innovate, and motivate in the classroom!!! Don’t forget there is further networking in a relaxed social setting at Old Mill Brew Pub in Lexington after the closing session.

(15) Classroom Misbehavior is Captivating and Motivating -For the Wrong Reasons Room: C106 The most overlooked misconception in education today is students come to school with the social skills needed for learning to take place. Research shows an average classroom teacher loses between five to nine hours per week dealing with lowSCFLTA 2017 level pesky behaviors. Frustrated by students' misbehaviors? Dealing with discipline matters taking up valuable teaching time? I'll share some core beliefs and introduce you to theories that help you understand the impact of low level inappropriate behaviors on your students and classroom. Learn "8:00 Monday morning" research-based strategies of a fair and simple classroom management system that will eliminate unwanted behaviors by 70% or more. Learn the essential steps of teaching to expected behaviors and discover the benefits and the importance of positive interactions with your students. Learn how to dramatically increase the amount of time you spend on instruction and decrease the amount of time giving multiple warnings and repeated requests to stop misbehavior. Learn how investing extra time in your students at the beginning of the year increases the amount of time you have for instruction throughout the year. Reduce your and your students' stress level while creating a working relationship that is built on caring and respect. Learning Objectives Goals and objectives for the session: Understand the theory and rationale for five effective classroom management strategies: I understand why caring is key. I understand the importance of classroom arrangement. I understand the rationale for teaching to expected behaviors. (Teach-TOs) I understand the importance of unconditional positive regard. I understand the strategy underneath Refocus (student problem-solving to fix their own problem behaviors) I understand that punishment does not change behavior. I understand that kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. I understand behavior can be changed. I understand the difference between non-contingent interaction is paramount. I understand kids do not come to school (emotionally/socially prepared to learn (and why and what to do about that) Audience K-12 Facilitator’s Name: Peter Vajda, Ph.D. Title/Institution: Education Consultant E-mail: pvajda@truenorthpartnering.com

(16) Use online resources for student collaboration Room: C108 In this session, we'll explore the possibilities available to students to collaborate in a project based lesson on weather and clothing. Google Classroom is an excellent, easy platform to share information with students, to work together to negotiate meaning with authentic texts and to present and exchange information in the target language. What are some useful management strategies given the sea of tools and resources available? Learning Objectives I can exchange advice on how to pack a bag for a trip to a destination in South America based on its diverse climates. I can describe landmarks and cultural experiences, including food and languages in various regions in the continent.
