The Online Learning Modules support world language teachers, directors, coordinators, and supervisors to advance their understanding of the Massachusetts 2021 World Languages Curriculum Framework. Each module is asynchronous, available for free on this webpage, and requires approximately 30–45 minutes of engagement. While the modules are asynchronous and flexible enough to be completed by individual educators at their convenience, they are optimized for departmental collaboration, discussion, and reflection. District leaders are encouraged to provide planning or professional development time for world language departments to collaboratively engage with these modules. Participants may request to receive 0.5 PDPs for each module they complete.
