SUMMARY:Think! Create! Share! Making Student Thinking Visible with Tech Tools (English)
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for fresh\, creative ways to bring student learning and voice to life in the additional language (L+) classroom? In this workshop\, you’ll discover how technology can empower students to show what they know\, think\, and can do in the target language. We’ll explore a variety of digital tools that make learning visible — tools that help students communicate authentically\, reflect on their thinking\, and demonstrate their growth in meaningful ways. By offering students choice\, you’ll see how they can take ownership of their learning and proudly showcase their best work. These tools don’t just support language development — they also foster intercultural understanding\, creativity\, and confidence. Although the workshop will feature examples from Core French and French Immersion\, the strategies and resources can be easily adapted to any L+ program. You’ll walk away with practical ideas\, ready-to-use examples\, and the inspiration to make your classroom a space where technology amplifies student voice\, choice\, and achievement.

SUMMARY:Breaking Down Barriers: Creating a Whole-School Approach to Teaching Learners with Exceptionalities
DESCRIPTION:How can schools create truly inclusive language programs for learners with exceptionalities? This session examines practical models and strategies to equip school leaders\, administrators\, and educators with tools for fostering collaborative\, inclusive practices at every level. Drawing on principles from Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and other key frameworks\, explore what a whole-school approach entails and discuss ways to create systems where the entire school community works together to support the success of all language learners. Finally\, engage in a guided self-audit using proven resources to reflect on your current practices and identify next steps toward making language programs more equitable\, responsive\, and empowering for every student. \nThis webinar is part of CASLT’s Success for All project\, a series dedicated to supporting language educators in fostering inclusive learning environments. Between December 2025 and May 2026\, this four-part webinar series will explore key topics such as understanding diverse learner needs and barriers to language learning\, inclusive strategies for classrooms and whole schools\, and practical classroom methods and resources. \nThe project defines “learners with exceptionalities” as learners who may require specialized support and accommodations due to behavioural\, communicative\, physical\, and/or intellectual exceptionalities. Our definition is intentionally broad and inclusive\, recognizing that terminology in this field evolves and that individual preferences may differ. We strive to use respectful language that promotes dignity\, equity\, and belonging for all learners\, and we welcome feedback as our shared understanding continues to develop.
