Foreign Language Adoption 2024 Jefferson County Schools Committee Members Agnes de Buchananne Richard Harner Elizabeth Marsicano Allison McCauley Darlene Weller Yina Wickham Texts that were reviewed: Savvass Learning - Auténtico Wayside Publishing - Entre Culturas and Entre Cultures Klett World Languages - Mapas, Reporteros and Reporters Francophones Carnegie Learning - Qué Chevere and T’es Branche Vista - Chemins and D’accord Our choices: Spanish - Mapas Levels 1 through 4 French - Reporters Francophones Levels 1 through 4 Quick overview of text and resource materials https://klettlp.com/ We would like ... We have asked for all digital access, with no physical texts being purchased as a means of saving money. A cost estimate has been provided by Klett that would cover both high schools and the 4 middle schools for both languages. However, it would be beneficial to have, at the very least, a classroom set for each teacher, in the event that we would have an internet outage, or that we would have a student who has a need for a physical textbook at home. Summary We are very optimistic that large numbers of students and their families will continue to see the long term value and advantages of Foreign Language learning. We feel that both the Mapas and Reporters Francophones series will keep our students engaged and, as passionate teachers, will help us to achieve our FL learning goals.
