01 Planning and Teaching Innovative Latin Courses Using the New SC Standard for World Language Proficiency (Room A-204) Latin teachers might be a little discombobulated by the new SC Standard for World Language Proficiency and how it applies to Classical languages. This session is designed to allay any fears people might have and to give them as many tools as possible to implement the standard in their own classrooms. In this session we will discuss how to design Latin courses using the new standard.
