Participants will first define program evaluation for their own contexts and consider the opportunities and challenges of both LCTLs in general and the language with which they work. This engaging institute will use both scenario-based and actual participant contexts to explore the concepts discussed and to identify areas of potential success and challenge for implementation. This course provides teachers, administrators, faculty in teacher preparation programs and other stakeholders a theoretical and practical approach to world language program evaluation in the K-postsecondary context. With less commonly taught languages, the context becomes even more critical to consider. In conducting evaluation, it is important to take a comprehensive approach that considers the needs of learners and teachers, the requirements and capacities of administrators, parents and other stakeholders, the values of the discipline and the contributions of the program to the local, national and general society. Evaluation is critical to understanding the outcomes of language programs.
