Outstanding Administrator in Support of World Language Award: Michael Brennan
The awardees will be honored during the Keynote Address and Awards Presentation on Friday March 10 during the Central States/OFLA Joint Conference in Columbus.
Tech Tuesdays
Tech Tuesday posts are a means to advocate for the teaching and learning of world languages through technology. Each post is about a tech related topic – anything from add-ons for Google Slides, to new features in Kahoot! or even tips on using technology to stay organized and create lesson plans. These posts can also be a website to use, an app to download or using an existing activity in a new way through technology. The Tech Integration Committee decides on the topics based on member feedback and members can submit requests for a topic they would like to know more about here.
Student Award Certificates
Download these certificates to recognize your outstanding students. Select either the Excellence Award or the Achievement Award.
