The American Classical League: Standards for Classical Language Learning commentary

The Standards task force welcomes commentary from the field on this draft of the Standards. 

We appreciate all thoughtful, constructive comments on how to make this document most useful, and on how to provide the support needed to make these Standards work for our profession.

Read or download the draft of the Classical Languages Standards. Keep in mind that this is not the final format and not the final content. Additional sections including a list of terms and sample learning scenarios will be part of the final document. 

The feedback period has ended. You may still review the draft by using the link above. 

We are still seeking sample learning scenarios from all levels of learning. The link will take you to a google doc.   We will use some learning scenarios in the published document but we are also going to need samples for our training modules and for presentations. Please consider sharing your expertise.
