STARTALK-CHELER Chinese Leadership Program
STARTALK-CHELER Chinese Leadership Program
The STARTALK-CHELER Chinese Leadership Program is designed for current K-12 experienced teachers and academic directors of community-based Chinese heritage schools/programs. The purpose is to expand participants’ knowledge and skills in planning and presenting a standards-based, thematically organized, performance-based, and technology supported learning plan, which is age appropriate for Chinese heritage learners. The instruction and learning experience will be differentiated for new and returning STARTALK participants. In the online course, participants will gain knowledge from reading articles and viewing videos, discussing in forum, and engage in a variety of activities. In the face-to- face onsite workshop, participants, working in small groups, will design tasks and learning plans and complete micro-teaching. By the end of the program, the participants will be able to: (1) design standards-based thematically organized unit/lesson plans that address learner needs with backward design planning, and technology support; (2) develop the literacy skills of Chinese heritage learners in the context of Chinese heritage schools; and (3) implement strategies of Differentiated Instruction to meet diverse needs of heritage learners. We welcome passionate and dedicated teacher to join us for an intensive and rewarding summer to transform your teaching practice and to be effective teacher leaders.
