4. TEXTBOOK RECOMMENDATION - WORLD LANGUAGE
The current World Language materials are a curated list of resources that our teachers have collected and organized throughout the years. No single textbook currently exists in our world language classes. These various materials are not aligned with current best practices/proficiency-based methods in world language instruction and do not align with AP/IB world language standards. This also has resulted in a lack of consistency across our world language programs in WLCSD. Based on the results of the examination of available products and an extensive pilot of two resources throughout the fall, it is the committee's recommendation to adopt EntreCulturas for Spanish and French and InterKulturell for German by Wayside Publishing, 2024, which includes textbooks, student workbooks, digital resources, training and online support. The cost, which includes a six-year digital license for teachers and students, will be $468,553.05. This process has been endorsed by Administration and a motion for approval of the textbook adoption will be presented at the March 6, 2025, meeting. |
