Curriculum Chats with Zach
·OnlineOnlineCalling world language teachers!
Need to breathe some life into your tired ol' curriculum? Want a sounding board for some new themes you are exploring? Looking for a little curriculum inspiration from others? Join us for "Curriculum Chats with Zach!" - an hour of conversation with Zach Bagan and fellow MAFLA members about what we love - and would love to improve - about the world language curriculum we teach. Bring something specific you'd like help with or come to listen and offer your wisdom!
Please be sure to RSVP and you'll receive the Zoom link the day of the event.
