Course Description

Idioma Education & Consulting invites conference participants to register for approved 15 or 45 PD hours for conference attendance and brief reflection, or 1 or 3 graduate credits for attending a world language or professional educators conference and the completion of the post conference course. 

This conference or convention and follow-up course will be determined by the conference or convention activities and include examining the role of the High Leverage Teaching Practices (HLTPs) Volume 2 that drive the fundamental aspects of world language instruction.
