Module 1 Learning Targets
- I can identify a personal professional goal from the TELL P6 criteria that I will choose to develop during this course.
- I can understand the ACTFL World Readiness Standards and the 21st Century Skills map as it applies to teaching my language.
- I can use the STARTALK Lesson Planning Guide and the Student Template to begin developing a learning episode for my Peer Microteaching Activity as well as for the final synchronous activity with students from CSUSB.
- I can explain the difference between a “learning target” and a “learning objective.”
- I can identify and suggest learning targets from a teacher video presentation of a lesson.
Module 1 Activity Table

Looking Ahead
Module 2 will be released at 8:00 am on Thursday, June 18 and will focus on the model teacher characteristic described in Planning 6a:
I set daily performance objectives that are focused on proficiency targets and are based on meaningful contexts.
Our next live, synchronous session will take place on Thursday, June 25 at 3:30 pm PT / 5:30 pm CT / 6:30 pm ET with Andrea Guillaume, Ph.D. who will speak to us on Assessment for Learning: A Growth Mindset Practice. Like all synchronous events, this is required.
