The World Language department used this time to begin creating a document of questions and ideas around cultivating meaningful information about our students to better serve their needs, interests, struggles and well being.

Ultimately this would take the form of a survey for both incoming and current students by giving them prompts to indicate and reflect on a wide range of issues:

-their interest in and exposure to the  language

-their reasons for studying the language and their goals

-their language spoken at home

-their cultural background and identity

-their previous knowledge of the language

-their preferred learning style

-their interest in specific topics, projects, current events, people and places they would like to explore and learn about.

We will continue our discussion and work in our next meeting.
