Professional Learning Booklet for 2022-2023

The NCDPI LinguaFolio Team has designed the Professional Learning Booklet for language educators as an asynchronous learning opportunity that may be completed during the school year. This self-paced PD Booklet is worth 10 contact hours. Participants read the information, watch the videos, complete the activities, and submit a survey to receive a certificate of completion.

Explore the Professional Learning Booklet as a PDF by clicking on the picture below. When you're ready to begin this asynchronous learning opportunity, click on this Force Copy link so that you can create an individual copy to start using as a learner.

Semester I: LinguaFolio Biography Components

The Biography is a record of personal language-learning history that helps learners to set goals and reflect on their language learning and intercultural experiences. The Language Biography Components, now available in 13 languages include:

Progress Report

The Professional Learning Booklet for the 2022 - 2023 PD includes the #GoOpenNC group, LinguaFolio for North Carolina, where the Apply & Reflect discussions on the Biography components are housed. Anyone can join the conversation at any time!
