Block Grant

Overview

Grant Description
With support from DoDEA, Groton Public School will improve and expand its world language program. All GPS world language teachers will engage in a multi-year onsite professional development program with expert trainers from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). The purpose of this training is to shift the current mode of instruction towards the preferred proficiency-based method aligned with ACTFL's World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.

GPS will also hire two new world language teachers to expand the program to all five elementary schools. The goal of this effort is to improve students' world language proficiency and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for cultures other than their own. Using standardized quantitative educational metrics and qualitative teacher surveys, GPS will study the impact of these efforts on the academic achievement and social-emotional well-being of our students, with a focus on our military-connected population.
