After Ron Sims' keynote at 10:00 a.m., break out sessions for teachers and special guests are scheduled. While teachers attend sessions demonstrating standards-based communicative activities, another session will showcase students of various grade levels learning a language. Feel free to attend any of these sessions. Lunch will follow the break out session. After lunch, Bill Center will speak about the importance of world languages in our state from the perspective of the Council of International Trade.
