Southwest Bootcamp 

June 9- June 14, 2019

Overlooking Galveston Bay, the Kemah Boardwalk features themed restaurants, retail shops, and amusements for the whole family.This 35-acre carnival-like atmosphere has a 36-foot carousel, a 65-foot Ferris wheel and rides like the Aviator and the Boardwalk Tower. Don't miss the arcade and Midway games. And for thrill seekers, there's the Boardwalk Beast, an adrenaline rush of a boat ride that takes passengers four miles into Galveston Bay at speeds up to 40 mph. 

Just 20 miles from downtown Houston, The Kemah Boardwalk is a great coastal getaway, and home to our Southwest Bootcamp! Don't miss it!

West Coast Bootcamp 2018

June 23- 28, 2019

Tacoma + Pierce County is a place for people unafraid to trek through the woods of Mount Rainier in the rain, fearless of breaking a sweat in the heat of the hot shop while blowing glass and resiliently tilling the soil that grows some of the world's best rhubarb.

From the Puget Sound waters to Mount Rainier and everything in between Pierce County communities are unique. Check out rhubarb pie in Sumner or antiques in Puyallup. Maritime can be found in Gig Harbor, while majestic gardens are in Lakewood. Discover history in Fife or connect with nature at Mount Rainier. With each just a car-ride away from Tacoma's glass art scene, it's easy to go out and explore.

Midwest Bootcamp 

July 28- August 2, 2019

It's hard to know what to gawk at first. High-flying architecture is everywhere, from the stratospheric, glass-floored Willis Tower to Frank Gehry's swooping silver Pritzker Pavilion to Frank Lloyd Wright's stained-glass Robie House. Whimsical public art studs the streets; you might be walking along and wham, there's an abstract Picasso statue that's not only cool to look at, but you're allowed to go right up and climb on it. For art museums, take your pick: impressionist masterpieces at the massive Art Institute, psychedelic paintings at the mid-sized Museum of Mexican Art or outsider drawings at the small Intuit gallery.
 

Steely skyscrapers, top chefs, rocking festivals – the Windy City will blow you away with its low-key cultured awesomeness.

East Coast Bootcamp 

August 4 - August 9, 2019

Take a walk through history at the Fire island Lighthouse with a Lighthouse Keeper. Visit the Keeper’s Quarters, historic boathouse and Fresnel Lens Building from a Keeper’s perspective. Tower tours reduced for those on the walk.

If there’s a single truth about Long Island, it’s that one adventure quickly leads to another. This great stretch of sand and surf, history and culture, culinary excellence and local farm stands is New York’s playground. You’ll find exceptional experiences here and you won’t always expect what you find. Long Island likes to surprise you in the best possible ways.

Date: Thu, Jul 15, 2021 at 5:40 PM Subject: Transitioning to the Revised NYS WL Standards
 
Dear World Language Organizations of New York!
 
As you are aware, the New York State Education Department has revised its Standards for World Languages. Phase I of their implementation has begun. Phase 1 includes the "roll-out and building awareness of the revised standards and timeline for implementation; [and] professional learning opportunities to prepare schools to transition to the revised standards."
 
In order to assist world language educators make a smooth and successful transition, the New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers' (NYSAFLT) Public Advocacy Committee and NYSED's Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) has created an infograph with step by step guidance. 
 
We ask that you share this infograph with your organization's membership. The infograph was carefully written to allow for awareness and growth within a reasonable timeline. It is also important for our WL professionals to be well informed so that work completed will be guided and productive. 
 
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. Thank you for all you do for our WL educators and their students.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Marie Campanaro and Barbara Patterson, co-chairs
NYSAFLT Public Advocacy Committee 
 

NYSAFLT’s Public Advocacy Committee (PAC) have created three resources, which are geared to a non-world language audience, for you to share with your district's decision makers. The resources can be found on the PAC Take Action web page which you can share or print out for your school counselors, administrators, and school board members.

 

The “Steps for Successfully Transitioning” document is for your WL department to set long- and short-term goals as you transition to the revised Learning Standards for WL.

 

The "Talking Points" flier is to inform school administrators about the revised Learning Standards for WL. It includes the NYSED timeline for its implementation and details the allocation of time and money needed for the transition. This resource should be shared now so money can be allocated in your district’s budget for next year. This flier also explains the areas where the name LOTE, foreign language, or languages other than English need to be amended to world languages.

 

The “WL Update for School Counselors and Administrators: World Languages Increase Students’ Prospects for College and Career” video, with an accompanying facilitation guide, explains the critical need for WL proficient graduates current NYS WL requirements, the need to study WL beyond NYS minimum graduation requirements, and options for further WL study in NYS. Invite your school counselors and administrators to a department meeting and view the video together while discussing the questions from the guide. This is an excellent resource to use when students meet with their school counselors to develop their course schedule for the upcoming year.
