This presentation is a reporting out of my MEAD Fellowship project work during the past year. I have been researching and curating information on teacher certification requirements in all of the states represented by NECTFL with the goal of creating a platform that allows non-traditional teachers to better navigate the certification process. Additionally, I have created a visual report that highlights potential areas for education and advocacy at the state level.

Participants examine model units, grounded in authentic United Nations SDGs in which students build intercultural citizenship by addressing environmental challenges. Models of learning progressions at both Novice and Intermediate levels show how students build intercultural communicative competence solving real world problems through action projects. These units serve as models to illustrate the learning activities that build toward the summative tasks. Teachers discuss learning opportunities that allow students to apply communicative competence in action projects addressing environmental problems while demonstrating intercultural citizenship skills.
