Nosce Te Ipsum (Know Thyself)! Self-Aware Students are Motivated Learners! Ann Maclean, Highland School Motivating students to take ownership of their learning and creating a classroom environment where collaboration and competition are safe and fun for students is no small task. But when students understand their strengths and weaknesses and feel empowered to step out of their comfort zones, the onus of learning rests upon students, where it ought to be, and frees up the teacher to work on moving the whole class forward together. Strategies include social-emotional and collaborative resources for your students. CORE PRACTICE: Provide Appropriate Feedback SPONSOR: SCOLT STRAND: Personalized Learning APPLICABLE LEVELS: MS, HS

Kids Before Content: A Guide on SocialEmotional Learning Competencies Renee Carr, West Springfield High School
The presentation uses CASEL’s definition of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies to guide how productive educators and students can become when SEL is used regularly in the world language classroom. The presentation addresses how SEL competencies can be used for educators themselves, how teachers can develop SEL competencies in their students, and the benefits of each competency for both educators and students. We will discuss how everything comes together once the SEL competencies are developed.

In this session, findings of a qualitative study of 21 world language (WL) teachers across the U.S. regarding their understandings and integration of intercultural competence (IC) in their instructional practices will be shared. These WL teachers’ understandings of IC are framed around targeted skill sets and mindsets, while also encompassed within a reflective process engaged by personal and professional experiences. The intentional, programmatic, and pedagogical ways they integrate IC to deeply support students’ intercultural development for global citizenship will be discussed.
