Fifteen Chinese language teachers (either experienced or new to the field) who are interested in observing and trying their own hands at standards-, performance-, and task-based language education are selected to participate in the camp, beginning July 2 (out-of-state teachers should arrive on July 1). A three-day pre-camp workshop will introduce you to the principles of a standards-based curriculum, as well as to available resources to teach following such a curriculum.

Once the camp begins, teachers will observe and/or participate in all scheduled activities. After the first few days of instruction, teachers will be invited to teach selected modules together with or in place of regular instructors. Where possible, these sessions will be videotaped to facilitate (friendly) critique and feedback.

Regular feedback sessions will be scheduled at the end of the day, or some evenings, to discuss what standards-based learning does or might look like in practice.
