NSSFL Day 2

Texas welcomed all the state supervisors to the meeting. Carl Johnson gave a bit of history regarding the various meetings NSSFL has held since the first one that was held in San Francisco in 1977. Introductions were extended by every state. Discussion was held regarding the roll of N.S.S.F.L. as a leadership organization on a national level with world languages. Awards and accomplishments were highlighted for various state representatives. Reports were given on collaborative efforts with the ASCD conference to promote world languages. New officers were elected. Information was given regarding NSSFL becoming a non-profit organization.

Did you know that 33% of all advance placement course offerings are world languages? This was a tidbit that was shared with the group.

Key topics of discussion for the day included: NSSFL’s collaboration efforts; states sharing with states; resources; language resource centers; and critical issues. The posts below give more information on each one.
