Professional Learning Framework

Our Professional Development Framework is designed to guide world language teachers through a comprehensive, structured journey of growth. Whether you're just starting to explore proficiency-based teaching or you're ready to take on leadership roles, this framework meets you where you are and helps you progress through four key stages: Awareness and First Steps, Understanding and Application, Refining and Expanding, and Supporting and Leading. Each stage builds upon the last, equipping educators with the knowledge, tools, and strategies they need to continuously improve their teaching practices and impact.
