Write-up by Suzanne Kaplan-Fonseca
A Foreign Language Faculty Retreat was held for CALA foreign language instructors the evening of Friday the 13th in the Woolworth Building. Faculty of French, Spanish, Italian, Persian, Mandarin, Norwegian, and Portuguese joined Paula Azevedo Perez (Program Administrator), Suzanne Kaplan-Fonseca (Foreign Languages Program Coordinator) and Lisa Springer (Associate Dean, Division of Languages and Humanities) for casual conversation over a light supper, a discussion of the program and classes, and sharing of professional development and classroom resources. Voices were heard, ideas were exchanged, and a community of practice was rejuvenated. Perhaps you recognize an instructor or two in the photos below?
