KWLA Virtual Meet-Ups

As service to our members and world language teachers in Kentucky, we invite you to join the Kentucky World Language Association team for a series of Virtual Meet-ups for K-12 world language educators.

Following the lead of the Ohio Foreign Language Association and their state’s department of education, KWLA would like to provide a positive, helpful and supportive place for teachers to gather virtually and discuss issues they face during Covid-19. This space will allow teachers to ask questions, network with colleagues, and share information, ideas, resources and encouragement. The schedule below shows when and how to join the Zoom Meet-ups and what topics will be discussed. More meetings will be added once input has been received about future topics.

1. See the schedule below for dates, times, hosts and topics of our Virtual Meet-ups.
2. Each meeting is limited to 100 participants; pre-registration is not available.
3. At the appropriate time, click the Zoom link to join the Meet-up. There is no cost involved.
