Title: Can-Do Learning:  A Blueprint for Reaching Higher
​

Description:
Imagine that all language learners achieve a level of language proficiency that is high enough to proudly put on their resumé!  How might your program gear up to support all learners to achieve that outcome? The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements provide the blueprint to guide learners to meet their goal.  Empower yourselves as educators to unleash your superpowers; build your repertoire of high leverage teaching practices that connect with 21st century skills of collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication; and focus on developing and assessing what learners CAN DO with what they know. 

Paul Sandrock, Director of Education at ACTFL, directs this organization’s professional development and initiatives around standards, curriculum, instruction, and performance assessment.  While at ACTFL, Paul has facilitated the revision of the national World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements, and before that was a member of the original Integrated Performance Assessment development team. Previously, Paul was Assistant Director of Content and Learning at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), coordinating the areas of English language arts, mathematics, international education, and world languages. He earlier served as the Wisconsin DPI state-wide consultant for world languages. Paul taught Spanish for 16 years in middle school and high school and authored The Keys to Assessing Language Performance as well as Planning Curriculum for Learning World Languages.
