InterCom has a weekly
customizable email digest for language teachers, which is a free service from
the Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) at the University of
Oregon. In each week's issue they re-disseminate tagged content from listservs,
blogs, the media, and other resources; subscribers receive only content that
matches their subscription preferences. Their goal is to keep busy teachers in
touch with the latest thinking in our field with a minimum time investment on
their part. Each week they include their own original content: a feature
article (Topic of the Week) dealing with a monthly theme (September's theme is
literacy and cross-curricular connections; October's will be assessment as a
tool for learning), an activity that exemplifies or applies the content of the
feature article, and a spotlight on something that at CASLS. The articles are
intended to be short and easy for busy teachers to read and digest quickly. Please
take a moment to subscribe to InterCom at http://caslsintercom.uoregon.edu . The
September 12 edition can be found at http://caslsintercom.uoregon.edu/subscriber

NC Global Educator
Digital Badge -
This educator has successfully completed the requirements for the Global
Educator Digital Badge (GEDB) per the North Carolina State Board of Education
Policy TCP-H-001 / Criteria for Other Educators . This educator has
demonstrated their global competence through the ability to develop or support
the classroom teacher in developing their student's capacity and disposition to
understand and act on issues of global significance while teaching the North
Carolina Standard Course of Study. Attainment of the GEDB is not an endorsement
on the educator license, rather it is a reflection of the focused professional
development in alignment with the educator professional development plan or
goals and strategies resulting in classroom, school, or district practice as
demonstrated in the Capstone Project artifact. For more information on the
process please visit: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/globaled/actions/item1-2
