Description

#24
In this episode we look at how we structure our world language classrooms. How can we redesign our classrooms so that they are more communicative and support risk-taking, promote community, and help students rise in proficiency?  I'm joined by Darcy Rogers, Spanish Teacher and founder of OWL (Organic World Language), who helps us all re-envision what our classroom can be.

Darcy speaks about:

• the traditional classroom structure and the obstacles it creates
• how we can remove these obstacles
• the linguistic and social-emotional benefits of removing these obstacles
• the foundations of OWL methodology
• infusing pieces of OWL into our classrooms
