00:00:17.835 --> 00:00:20.757
<v Virin Vedder>So again,
thank you everybody for joining us this</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/969-1
00:00:20.757 --> 00:00:25.140
<v Virin Vedder>evening where we are going to discuss
what happens next after you and your</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/969-2
00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:29.406
<v Virin Vedder>child leave elementary school and
continue with dual language immersion.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/969-3
00:00:29.406 --> 00:00:34.257
<v Virin Vedder>We are going to be recording this meeting
and it will be archived on our GCPS dual</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/969-4

<v Virin Vedder>language immersion website.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1029-0
00:00:35.875 --> 00:00:39.008
<v Virin Vedder>As some housekeeping,
feel free to place in the chat any</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1029-1
00:00:39.008 --> 00:00:42.472
<v Virin Vedder>questions that you're thinking of as you
are thinking of them.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1029-2
00:00:42.472 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Virin Vedder>We may answer them along the way,
but if not,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1029-3
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.508
<v Virin Vedder>we will certainly spend time at the end
of the meeting to take time for questions</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1029-4
00:00:49.508 --> 00:00:54.016
<v Virin Vedder>from the chat or to give you a chance to
come off the microphone and ask anything</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1029-5
00:00:54.016 --> 00:00:55.555
<v Virin Vedder>that you may be thinking of.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1037-0
00:00:55.635 --> 00:01:00.515
<v Virin Vedder>And that we did not cover in our time
this evening. So let's go ahead and begin.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1091-0
00:01:03.075 --> 00:01:09.091
<v Virin Vedder>This map displays where our dual language
immersion programs currently exist within</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1091-1
00:01:09.091 --> 00:01:14.248
<v Virin Vedder>Gwinnett County Public Schools.
That salmon color is our clusters where</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1091-2
00:01:14.248 --> 00:01:17.830
<v Virin Vedder>we have Spanish dual language immersion
programs.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1091-3
00:01:17.830 --> 00:01:22.915
<v Virin Vedder>Blue in the Grayson cluster indicates
where we offer French immersion.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1136-0
00:01:23.435 --> 00:01:27.175
<v Virin Vedder>And green depicts Peachtree Ridge,
where Korean DLI exists.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1136-1
00:01:27.175 --> 00:01:30.541
<v Virin Vedder>And because our evening tonight is for
all languages,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1136-2
00:01:30.541 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Virin Vedder>I'm just setting this as some context as
we begin,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1136-3
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.955
<v Virin Vedder>but in order to best support your student
and their continued language acquisition.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1191-0
00:01:39.315 --> 00:01:44.530
<v Virin Vedder>It is important to remain in a DLI
cluster when moving from elementary to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1191-1
00:01:44.530 --> 00:01:50.026
<v Virin Vedder>middle school. As we will see shortly,
the DLI continuation courses in middle</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1191-2
00:01:50.026 --> 00:01:55.453
<v Virin Vedder>school exist in DLI clusters. However,
these same courses are not offered in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1191-3
00:01:55.453 --> 00:01:58.835
<v Virin Vedder>clusters not highlight highlighted on
this map.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1246-0
00:01:58.955 --> 00:02:02.548
<v Virin Vedder>Therefore,
if you move from a DLI elementary school</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1246-1
00:02:02.548 --> 00:02:07.317
<v Virin Vedder>to a non DLI middle school,
you will not have access to courses that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1246-2
00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:12.499
<v Virin Vedder>were specifically designed for the DLI
middle school continuation student.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1246-3
00:02:12.499 --> 00:02:16.507
<v Virin Vedder>If your child is in 5th grade at a DLI
elementary school,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1246-4
00:02:16.507 --> 00:02:18.235
<v Virin Vedder>your child's information.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1299-0
00:02:18.515 --> 00:02:23.290
<v Virin Vedder>Will be automatically transferred to the
associated DLI continuation middle school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1299-1
00:02:23.290 --> 00:02:27.895
<v Virin Vedder>If you're on a permissive transfer and
the DLI continuation middle school is not</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1299-2
00:02:27.895 --> 00:02:31.704
<v Virin Vedder>your home middle school,
then all the rules of permissive transfer</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1299-3
00:02:31.704 --> 00:02:35.342
<v Virin Vedder>will continue to apply,
meaning your student will have to have,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1299-4
00:02:35.342 --> 00:02:38.355
<v Virin Vedder>you know,
good standing and attendance behavior and.</v>

00:02:38.395 --> 00:02:38.795
<v Virin Vedder>Academics.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1374-0
00:02:40.395 --> 00:02:44.649
<v Virin Vedder>This graph illustrates the kindergarten

00:02:44.649 --> 00:02:48.902
<v Virin Vedder>level of language proficiency that can be
obtained if students and parents are</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1374-2
00:02:48.902 --> 00:02:52.133
<v Virin Vedder>willing to make the commitment in terms
of time and effort.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1374-3
00:02:52.133 --> 00:02:56.171
<v Virin Vedder>We want to take this opportunity to say
thank you. We are, as you can see,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1374-4
00:02:56.171 --> 00:03:00.155
<v Virin Vedder>halfway through this language journey and
this is a time for celebration.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1439-0
00:03:00.275 --> 00:03:04.690
<v Virin Vedder>And a chance for you to pat yourselves on
the back at continuing to encourage your</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1439-1
00:03:04.690 --> 00:03:08.519
<v Virin Vedder>child on this language journey.
So thank you again for your willingness</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1439-2
00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:12.296
<v Virin Vedder>to participate in this program,
your faith in us to deliver what we've</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1439-3
00:03:12.296 --> 00:03:16.338
<v Virin Vedder>been talking about over the years in
terms of the benefits of this program.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1439-4
00:03:16.338 --> 00:03:18.998
<v Virin Vedder>And again,
just opportunities to acknowledge your</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1439-5
00:03:18.998 --> 00:03:19.955
<v Virin Vedder>efforts with this.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1492-0
00:03:20.035 --> 00:03:24.682
<v Virin Vedder>In order to reach advanced level language
proficiency as it relates to listening,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1492-1
00:03:24.682 --> 00:03:28.818
<v Virin Vedder>speaking, reading, and writing,
it is recommended that students continue</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1492-2
00:03:28.818 --> 00:03:32.275
<v Virin Vedder>to take language courses throughout their
high school years.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1492-3
00:03:32.275 --> 00:03:36.752
<v Virin Vedder>If your child is currently enrolled in
fifth grade at a DLI elementary school,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1492-4
00:03:36.752 --> 00:03:39.755
<v Virin Vedder>your school will help ensure proper
language course.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1495-0
00:03:39.955 --> 00:03:42.955
<v Virin Vedder>Placement for your rising 6th grade
student.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1547-0
00:03:44.915 --> 00:03:48.321
<v Virin Vedder>In the elementary school dual language
immersion model,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1547-1
00:03:48.321 --> 00:03:51.606
<v Virin Vedder>students have been learning language
through content.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1547-2
00:03:51.606 --> 00:03:56.350
<v Virin Vedder>We have spent considerable time and
attention on developing academic language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1547-3
00:03:56.350 --> 00:04:00.668
<v Virin Vedder>in French, Korean or Spanish,
particularly as they pertain to math and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1547-4
00:04:00.668 --> 00:04:01.155
<v Virin Vedder>science.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1616-0
00:04:01.155 --> 00:04:03.744
<v Virin Vedder>In addition,
we've been developing social language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1616-1
00:04:03.744 --> 00:04:06.129
<v Virin Vedder>appropriate for the elementary school
setting.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1616-2
00:04:06.129 --> 00:04:09.987
<v Virin Vedder>A primary goal of the middle and high
school continuation is to broaden the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1616-3
00:04:09.987 --> 00:04:14.047
<v Virin Vedder>types of topics students can navigate.
So now we're in this part of the funnel,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1616-4
00:04:14.047 --> 00:04:18.209
<v Virin Vedder>in this intermediate range where many of
our students have language skills and in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1616-5
00:04:18.209 --> 00:04:20.595
<v Virin Vedder>middle and high school,
we're now going to be.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1644-0
00:04:20.675 --> 00:04:24.795
<v Virin Vedder>Going across this funnel in terms of
topics and content that students are</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1644-1
00:04:24.795 --> 00:04:27.746
<v Virin Vedder>exposed to,
as opposed to focusing primarily on math</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1644-2
00:04:27.746 --> 00:04:31.755
<v Virin Vedder>and science, which we have been doing,
of course, in elementary school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1701-0
00:04:33.635 --> 00:04:38.651
<v Virin Vedder>Gwinnett County Public Schools honors its
commitment to DLI parents and students</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1701-1
00:04:38.651 --> 00:04:43.481
<v Virin Vedder>with a seamless K12 language program.
As students move into middle school and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1701-2
00:04:43.481 --> 00:04:47.134
<v Virin Vedder>on to high school,
we never lose sight of our goals stated</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1701-3
00:04:47.134 --> 00:04:51.407
<v Virin Vedder>from the first day of kindergarten.
Students in GCPS DLI will become</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1701-4
00:04:51.407 --> 00:04:52.955
<v Virin Vedder>bilingual and biliterate.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1758-0
00:04:53.555 --> 00:04:57.301
<v Virin Vedder>And able to successfully navigate
multiple cultures in their lives and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1758-1
00:04:57.301 --> 00:04:59.940
<v Virin Vedder>careers.
Language learning is a process and these</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1758-2
00:04:59.940 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Virin Vedder>results can be expected only if students
and families are able to make a long-term</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1758-3
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.696
<v Virin Vedder>commitment to the program.
So I'm using this opportunity to say</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1758-4
00:05:07.696 --> 00:05:10.440
<v Virin Vedder>thank you.
We certainly appreciate that support and</v>

00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:13.395
<v Virin Vedder>I'm going to just kind of encourage you
to with a care.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1791-0
00:05:13.475 --> 00:05:18.875
<v Virin Vedder>To keep going and keep encouraging your

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1791-1
00:05:18.875 --> 00:05:23.683
<v Virin Vedder>to that kind of important level of
language use that has transferability</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1791-2
00:05:23.683 --> 00:05:25.395

00:05:30.299 --> 00:05:33.751
<v Virin Vedder>experiencing and what they have been
doing since kindergarten.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1827-2
00:05:33.751 --> 00:05:37.969
<v Virin Vedder>DLI continuation opportunities for six

00:05:37.969 --> 00:05:38.955
<v Virin Vedder>talking about now.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1874-0
00:05:39.915 --> 00:05:44.487
<v Virin Vedder>From kindergarten through 5th grade,
your student has been learning the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1874-1
00:05:44.487 --> 00:05:49.566
<v Virin Vedder>partner language in the content context
rather of Gwinnett's academic knowledge</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1874-2
00:05:49.566 --> 00:05:52.487
<v Virin Vedder>and skills,
the AKS curriculum as we call it,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1874-3
00:05:52.487 --> 00:05:56.424
<v Virin Vedder>specifically mathematics,
science and literacy in the partner</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1874-4
00:05:56.424 --> 00:05:56.995
<v Virin Vedder>language.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1929-0
00:05:57.115 --> 00:06:02.309
<v Virin Vedder>The next step in your student's language
journey involves more focused instruction</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1929-1
00:06:02.309 --> 00:06:07.191
<v Virin Vedder>in spelling, grammar, sentence structure,
and syntax in the partner language.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1929-2
00:06:07.191 --> 00:06:10.820
<v Virin Vedder>During middle school,
students will continue to learn the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1929-3
00:06:10.820 --> 00:06:15.389
<v Virin Vedder>partner language in a culture rich
immersion environment with additional</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1929-4
00:06:15.389 --> 00:06:16.515
<v Virin Vedder>focus on refining.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1982-0
00:06:16.675 --> 00:06:20.776
<v Virin Vedder>These language skills.
So our three goals of Gwinnett's DLI</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1982-1
00:06:20.776 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Virin Vedder>Middle School continuation model are
first to pivot.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1982-2
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:29.935
<v Virin Vedder>Students are going to move out of content
only instruction and towards a balance</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1982-3
00:06:29.935 --> 00:06:35.198
<v Virin Vedder>that pairs exploration of countries and
cultures with focused instruction in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/1982-4
00:06:35.198 --> 00:06:36.155
<v Virin Vedder>grammar usage.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2029-0
00:06:36.275 --> 00:06:40.168
<v Virin Vedder>Mechanics and other language skills.
The second P is precision.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2029-1
00:06:40.168 --> 00:06:44.121
<v Virin Vedder>Through this balanced model,
students will develop the precision</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2029-2
00:06:44.121 --> 00:06:48.926
<v Virin Vedder>needed to demonstrate advanced language
proficiency, including strong reading,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2029-3
00:06:48.926 --> 00:06:51.968
<v Virin Vedder>writing,
and conversational skills in the partner</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2029-4
00:06:51.968 --> 00:06:52.515
<v Virin Vedder>language.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2081-0
00:06:52.795 --> 00:06:57.116
<v Virin Vedder>Our final P is preparation.
These skills I just mentioned will ensure</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2081-1
00:06:57.116 --> 00:07:01.869
<v Virin Vedder>that students are prepared for the next
stage of their language development,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2081-2
00:07:01.869 --> 00:07:06.498
<v Virin Vedder>whether this is pursuing Advanced
Placement or International Baccalaureate</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2081-3
00:07:06.498 --> 00:07:09.646
<v Virin Vedder>studies,
entering a dual enrollment program at the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2081-4
00:07:09.646 --> 00:07:12.115
<v Virin Vedder>college level, or using their skills in.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2082-0
00:07:12.195 --> 00:07:13.315
<v Virin Vedder>The workplace.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2119-0
00:07:14.275 --> 00:07:19.234
<v Virin Vedder>In middle school,
students have a total of six classes in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2119-1
00:07:19.234 --> 00:07:23.338
<v Virin Vedder>their schedule.
Four of those courses are math,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2119-2
00:07:23.338 --> 00:07:27.784
<v Virin Vedder>English language arts, science,
and social studies.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2119-3
00:07:27.784 --> 00:07:32.315
<v Virin Vedder>All four of these courses will be taught
in English.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2179-0
00:07:32.915 --> 00:07:37.239
<v Virin Vedder>That's a huge departure from where we are
right now. So let me repeat that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2179-1
00:07:37.239 --> 00:07:41.392
<v Virin Vedder>All four of their core courses will be
taught in English, math, science,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2179-2
00:07:41.392 --> 00:07:44.521
<v Virin Vedder>language arts, and social studies.
And so as a result,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2179-3
00:07:44.521 --> 00:07:49.015
<v Virin Vedder>your student may not necessarily be in
the same cohort of students as they are</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2179-4
00:07:49.015 --> 00:07:52.315
<v Virin Vedder>now. For some of you,
you've been together for six years.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2232-0
00:07:52.515 --> 00:07:55.963
<v Virin Vedder>Right since kindergarten,
and this is a big difference.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2232-1
00:07:55.963 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Virin Vedder>They are going to now be mixed in with
students who have not been in DLI,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2232-2
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.075
<v Virin Vedder>which provides them an opportunity to
experience middle school like other</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2232-3
00:08:05.075 --> 00:08:09.815
<v Virin Vedder>general education students. However,
DLI continuation students will have the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2232-4
00:08:09.815 --> 00:08:12.155
<v Virin Vedder>opportunity to be reunited with their.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2283-0
00:08:12.475 --> 00:08:15.952
<v Virin Vedder>DLI cohort classmates,
as we'll show in the next slide.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2283-1
00:08:15.952 --> 00:08:21.168
<v Virin Vedder>Plus they're going to get to leave middle
school with three high school level world</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2283-2
00:08:21.168 --> 00:08:24.894
<v Virin Vedder>language credits.
So that part is what sets them apart from</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2283-3
00:08:24.894 --> 00:08:29.675
<v Virin Vedder>their non DLI peers who will be joining
them in these core academic classes.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2333-0
00:08:29.955 --> 00:08:34.023
<v Virin Vedder>So let's look at the middle school
continuation model.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2333-1
00:08:34.023 --> 00:08:39.940
<v Virin Vedder>Middle school DLI continuation students
have the opportunity to take a third of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2333-2
00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:43.786
<v Virin Vedder>their scheduled classes in specialized
DLI classes.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2333-3
00:08:43.786 --> 00:08:49.555
<v Virin Vedder>We mentioned that four core classes will
be in English, but two classes what?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2398-0
00:08:49.715 --> 00:08:54.398
<v Virin Vedder>Are called Connections classes in middle
school will be offered in the immersion</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2398-1
00:08:54.398 --> 00:08:57.289
<v Virin Vedder>language.
Let's take a look first at the yearlong</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2398-2
00:08:57.289 --> 00:09:00.064
<v Virin Vedder>courses,
which are represented by that bar that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2398-3
00:09:00.064 --> 00:09:04.458
<v Virin Vedder>goes across semester one and Semester 2
at all three grade levels of middle</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2398-4
00:09:04.458 --> 00:09:08.043
<v Virin Vedder>school. In this graphic,
let's look at 6th grade DLI Advanced</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2398-5
00:09:08.043 --> 00:09:09.315
<v Virin Vedder>Language and Literacy.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2399-0
00:09:09.435 --> 00:09:10.035
<v Virin Vedder>Course here.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2448-0
00:09:10.995 --> 00:09:15.433
<v Virin Vedder>This course will focus on development of
precision and language proficiency in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2448-1
00:09:15.433 --> 00:09:18.691
<v Virin Vedder>speaking, listening, reading,
and writing in an engaging,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2448-2
00:09:18.691 --> 00:09:22.961
<v Virin Vedder>language rich immersion environment.
Special focus will be placed on themes</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2448-3
00:09:22.961 --> 00:09:27.062
<v Virin Vedder>that students will explore later in
Advanced Placement in high school or</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2448-4
00:09:27.062 --> 00:09:28.635
<v Virin Vedder>International Baccalaureate.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2489-0
00:09:29.435 --> 00:09:36.048
<v Virin Vedder>Courses again in high school in 7th grade.
Notice in 8th grade that year-long course</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2489-1
00:09:36.048 --> 00:09:42.428
<v Virin Vedder>now changes and becomes the high school
equivalent Level 3 world language course.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2489-2
00:09:42.428 --> 00:09:44.995
<v Virin Vedder>So Spanish 3, French 3, Korean 3.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2532-0
00:09:47.635 --> 00:09:52.453
<v Virin Vedder>And special focus will be placed on
themes explored in Advanced Placement and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2532-1
00:09:52.453 --> 00:09:56.468
<v Virin Vedder>I International Baccalaureate language
courses. So in 7th grade,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2532-2
00:09:56.468 --> 00:10:00.484
<v Virin Vedder>students are completing the high school
semester one equivalent,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2532-3
00:10:00.484 --> 00:10:04.931
<v Virin Vedder>and in 8th grade students will complete
the high school second semester</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2532-4
00:10:04.931 --> 00:10:07.155
<v Virin Vedder>equivalent in that year-long course.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2586-0
00:10:11.035 --> 00:10:14.819
<v Virin Vedder>Now let's take a look at those semester
long courses that are noticed.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2586-1
00:10:14.819 --> 00:10:17.910
<v Virin Vedder>Notice are called Culture and History and
Media Literacy,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2586-2
00:10:17.910 --> 00:10:21.907
<v Virin Vedder>and the titles of those courses are the
same in each three years. However,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2586-3
00:10:21.907 --> 00:10:25.478
<v Virin Vedder>the content varies each year,
allowing students to study different</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2586-4
00:10:25.478 --> 00:10:29.315
<v Virin Vedder>aspects of the course themes during their
6th, 7th and 8th grade years.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2632-0
00:10:29.675 --> 00:10:33.382
<v Virin Vedder>In Culture and History,
this course features deep discussion of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2632-1
00:10:33.382 --> 00:10:37.842
<v Virin Vedder>the cultures and histories of countries
and groups representing the language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2632-2
00:10:37.842 --> 00:10:40.448
<v Virin Vedder>study.
Students will dive deep into cultural</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2632-3
00:10:40.448 --> 00:10:44.213
<v Virin Vedder>products and practices,
comparing and contrasting with their own</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2632-4
00:10:44.213 --> 00:10:45.835
<v Virin Vedder>and those of other cultures.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2678-0
00:10:45.835 --> 00:10:49.667
<v Virin Vedder>Through lively discussions,
students will develop and defend opinions</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2678-1
00:10:49.667 --> 00:10:53.007
<v Virin Vedder>using the immersion language.
In that media literacy course,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2678-2
00:10:53.007 --> 00:10:57.551
<v Virin Vedder>students will engage with and critically
evaluate authentic media curated from the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2678-3
00:10:57.551 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Virin Vedder>countries and cultures in which the
target language is spoken.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2678-4
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.942
<v Virin Vedder>They will create their own authentic
media products using the immersion</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2678-5
00:11:04.942 --> 00:11:05.435
<v Virin Vedder>language.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2679-0
00:11:05.515 --> 00:11:05.875
<v Virin Vedder>Language.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2730-0
00:11:08.235 --> 00:11:11.932
<v Virin Vedder>So in middle school,
it's also a time of exploration for</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2730-1
00:11:11.932 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Virin Vedder>students.
And while we would hope that most of our</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2730-2
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.105
<v Virin Vedder>DLI students sign up for all three of
those DLI courses offered each year,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2730-3
00:11:20.105 --> 00:11:24.515
<v Virin Vedder>we understand that some students may wish
to explore other options.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2783-0
00:11:25.315 --> 00:11:29.911
<v Virin Vedder>For instance, a Connections class in band,
orchestra, computer science,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2783-1
00:11:29.911 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Virin Vedder>physical education.
So to account for that,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2783-2
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.359
<v Virin Vedder>our program offers flexibility in
scheduling. That said,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2783-3
00:11:36.359 --> 00:11:41.402
<v Virin Vedder>students who take all DLI continuation
courses typically see an improvement in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2783-4
00:11:41.402 --> 00:11:43.955
<v Virin Vedder>their language development more quickly.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2838-0
00:11:44.595 --> 00:11:48.218
<v Virin Vedder>Than those who take fewer.
So in this graphic we're trying to show</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2838-1
00:11:48.218 --> 00:11:52.273
<v Virin Vedder>that a highly motivated DLI student might
take all three of those courses.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2838-2
00:11:52.273 --> 00:11:56.490
<v Virin Vedder>But a student who is still motivated to
learn language but has an interest in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2838-3
00:11:56.490 --> 00:12:00.762
<v Virin Vedder>another course could take that required
course each year, the year long class,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2838-4
00:12:00.762 --> 00:12:03.195
<v Virin Vedder>and have a second connection course that
is.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2878-0
00:12:04.075 --> 00:12:08.375
<v Virin Vedder>Maybe band or orchestra or physical
education or some of the other courses</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2878-1
00:12:08.375 --> 00:12:11.242
<v Virin Vedder>offered within the Connections time frame.
Again,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2878-2
00:12:11.242 --> 00:12:15.600
<v Virin Vedder>the disclaimer I'd like to make is
obviously the more a student is enrolled</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2878-3
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.327
<v Virin Vedder>in an immersion course,
the higher level of proficiency they are</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2878-4
00:12:19.327 --> 00:12:20.875
<v Virin Vedder>going to acquire over time.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2947-0
00:12:27.195 --> 00:12:31.856
<v Virin Vedder>So the goal for DLI students is to be
successful in taking Advanced Placement</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2947-1
00:12:31.856 --> 00:12:34.964
<v Virin Vedder>coursework in their 10th grade year of
high school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2947-2
00:12:34.964 --> 00:12:39.266
<v Virin Vedder>So in order to help sufficiently prepare
students for that expectation,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2947-3
00:12:39.266 --> 00:12:43.390
<v Virin Vedder>we designed our middle school
continuation classes with the Advanced</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/2947-4
00:12:43.390 --> 00:12:47.035
<v Virin Vedder>Placement themes in mind.
So this slide illustrates here in.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3000-0
00:12:47.195 --> 00:12:50.557
<v Virin Vedder>Blue The six themes of the Advanced
Placement course,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3000-1
00:12:50.557 --> 00:12:55.350
<v Virin Vedder>which is a college level course that
students can opt to take in high school</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3000-2
00:12:55.350 --> 00:12:59.894
<v Virin Vedder>and our DLI students are going to be
taking that course as 10th graders.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3000-3
00:12:59.894 --> 00:13:04.874
<v Virin Vedder>So in order to prepare our students for a
10th grade experience in this college</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3000-4
00:13:04.874 --> 00:13:07.115
<v Virin Vedder>level course, we are building these.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3018-0
00:13:07.315 --> 00:13:11.594
<v Virin Vedder>Themes into what they will be learning
while in middle school continuation DLI.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3018-1
00:13:11.594 --> 00:13:15.981
<v Virin Vedder>This slide kind of shows how we integrate
those themes across our different grade</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3018-2
00:13:15.981 --> 00:13:16.355
<v Virin Vedder>levels.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3075-0
00:13:19.035 --> 00:13:22.207
<v Virin Vedder>So now I mentioned a little bit about the
carrot.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3075-1
00:13:22.207 --> 00:13:25.950
<v Virin Vedder>So this is a good carrot coming right now
in front of you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3075-2
00:13:25.950 --> 00:13:30.962
<v Virin Vedder>Gwinnett County Public Schools Board
policy was recently revised to reward DLI</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3075-3
00:13:30.962 --> 00:13:34.578
<v Virin Vedder>students for their language skills.
At the present time,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3075-4
00:13:34.578 --> 00:13:38.955
<v Virin Vedder>all 8th grade DLI students who
successfully complete that year-long.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3124-0
00:13:39.035 --> 00:13:44.050
<v Virin Vedder>Long required continuation class,
which would be French 3, Korean 3,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3124-1
00:13:44.050 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Virin Vedder>Spanish 3 will now receive 3 Carnegie
units of high school credit.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3124-2
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.805
<v Virin Vedder>And what that means is that your current
8th future 8th grader could be on track</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3124-3
00:13:54.805 --> 00:13:58.875
<v Virin Vedder>to walk into high school already having
earned 3 years.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3177-0
00:13:58.955 --> 00:14:03.661
<v Virin Vedder>Worth of high school level language study.
We know that language learning takes time,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3177-1
00:14:03.661 --> 00:14:07.546
<v Virin Vedder>and so this is again a perfect
opportunity to remind your student that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3177-2
00:14:07.546 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Virin Vedder>their time spent learning languages has a
real payoff coming their way soon.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3151-0
00:14:09.315 --> 00:14:09.435
<v Riddhi>Yeah.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3177-3
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:14.604
<v Virin Vedder>So again,
please help celebrate this milestone that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3177-4
00:14:14.604 --> 00:14:16.355
<v Virin Vedder>you're on the cusp of receiving.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3224-0
00:14:16.715 --> 00:14:20.766
<v Virin Vedder>With your child and encourage them to
continue in their language journey in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3224-1
00:14:20.766 --> 00:14:23.697
<v Virin Vedder>high school and beyond.
Just one note of housekeeping.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3224-2
00:14:23.697 --> 00:14:27.907
<v Virin Vedder>The way that this three credits will
appear on your child's transcript is they</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3224-3
00:14:27.907 --> 00:14:31.798
<v Virin Vedder>will get one credit for that Level 3
class they complete as 8th graders,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3224-4
00:14:31.798 --> 00:14:36.115
<v Virin Vedder>and then they will get two additional
credits that will show up one credit each.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3260-0
00:14:36.475 --> 00:14:39.509
<v Virin Vedder>As this course title, native language,
not English.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3260-1
00:14:39.509 --> 00:14:42.543
<v Virin Vedder>So in total they get those 3 Carnegie
Unit credits,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3260-2
00:14:42.543 --> 00:14:47.328
<v Virin Vedder>but the way they appear on on a child's
transcript will look kind of exactly like</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3260-3
00:14:47.328 --> 00:14:49.195
<v Virin Vedder>what you see on the screen here.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3314-0
00:14:50.955 --> 00:14:53.229
<v Virin Vedder>Again,
just a housekeeping pause for a moment.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3314-1
00:14:53.229 --> 00:14:55.358
<v Virin Vedder>Please feel free to type in your
questions.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3314-2
00:14:55.358 --> 00:14:58.406
<v Virin Vedder>Diana and I will answer them when we
finish this presentation,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3314-3
00:14:58.406 --> 00:15:02.373
<v Virin Vedder>and we'll also have time for you to come
off the microphone and ask anything that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3314-4
00:15:02.373 --> 00:15:05.469
<v Virin Vedder>you might be wondering or that we haven't
answered as well. OK,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3314-5
00:15:05.469 --> 00:15:08.275
<v Virin Vedder>so let's now talk about how we track
student achievement.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3387-0
00:15:08.555 --> 00:15:12.176
<v Virin Vedder>In Gwinnett County Public Schools,
we have of course many different ways,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3387-1
00:15:12.176 --> 00:15:15.846
<v Virin Vedder>and this chart depicts a list of state,
local and national assessments and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3387-2
00:15:15.846 --> 00:15:18.782
<v Virin Vedder>measures that we use to evaluate our
teaching and learning.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3387-3
00:15:18.782 --> 00:15:22.501
<v Virin Vedder>And all students in DLI take the same
assessments as their peers who are in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3387-4
00:15:22.501 --> 00:15:26.171
<v Virin Vedder>traditional regular education classrooms.
That continues in middle school,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3387-5
00:15:26.171 --> 00:15:27.835
<v Virin Vedder>just like it is now in elementary.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3437-0
00:15:28.075 --> 00:15:31.917
<v Virin Vedder>With the one exception,
the DLI students take one additional</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3437-1
00:15:31.917 --> 00:15:34.688
<v Virin Vedder>assessment.
You may recall for most of you,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3437-2
00:15:34.688 --> 00:15:39.979
<v Virin Vedder>I assume you have 5th grade students that
last year in 4th grade your students took</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3437-3
00:15:39.979 --> 00:15:43.254
<v Virin Vedder>this Apple test,
the American Council of Teaching a</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3437-4
00:15:43.254 --> 00:15:47.915
<v Virin Vedder>Foreign Language Assessment of Progress
Towards Proficiency in Languages.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3494-0
00:15:47.995 --> 00:15:52.774
<v Virin Vedder>And in 4th grade they took the domains of
listening, speaking and reading.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3494-1
00:15:52.774 --> 00:15:56.151
<v Virin Vedder>In 6th grade,
students will take the writing domain.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3494-2
00:15:56.151 --> 00:16:00.165
<v Virin Vedder>Notice that's the one domain they did not
take as 4th graders.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3494-3
00:16:00.165 --> 00:16:05.263
<v Virin Vedder>So in 6th grade they will just take the
writing domain of Apple and then in 8th</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3494-4
00:16:05.263 --> 00:16:07.875
<v Virin Vedder>grade they will take all four domains of.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3546-0
00:16:07.915 --> 00:16:11.975
<v Virin Vedder>Language in that Apple test.
So that's the one piece where DLI is</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3546-1
00:16:11.975 --> 00:16:16.342
<v Virin Vedder>different than of course regular
education and you as parents will get</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3546-2
00:16:16.342 --> 00:16:21.263
<v Virin Vedder>access to the report of your students and
their performance on that assessment.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3546-3
00:16:21.263 --> 00:16:26.060
<v Virin Vedder>And so this is right now a chance for you
to go in and potentially take note.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3546-4
00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:27.475
<v Virin Vedder>We'll share by the way.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3597-0
00:16:27.635 --> 00:16:30.958
<v Virin Vedder>This presentation with you so you'll have
this slide deck,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3597-1
00:16:30.958 --> 00:16:35.239
<v Virin Vedder>but this is a little screenshot of
showing you how you can access right now</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3597-2
00:16:35.239 --> 00:16:39.802
<v Virin Vedder>the results of last year's Apple test.
If your child was in 4th grade last year,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3597-3
00:16:39.802 --> 00:16:44.195
<v Virin Vedder>they have been uploaded into Parentview
and they are located in the Documents</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3597-4
00:16:44.195 --> 00:16:46.955
<v Virin Vedder>section,
which is that bottom tab in Parentview.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3653-0
00:16:47.355 --> 00:16:51.206
<v Virin Vedder>As depicted on this screenshot,
your DLI took the Apple test in all three</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3653-1
00:16:51.206 --> 00:16:53.860
<v Virin Vedder>languages,
with the exception of writing when they</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3653-2
00:16:53.860 --> 00:16:56.358
<v Virin Vedder>were in 4th grade. In 6th grade,
as a reminder,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3653-3
00:16:56.358 --> 00:17:00.470
<v Virin Vedder>they will take just the writing domain,
and in 8th grade they'll take all four</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3653-4
00:17:00.470 --> 00:17:02.864
<v Virin Vedder>domains.
So we kind of would encourage you to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3653-5
00:17:02.864 --> 00:17:06.715
<v Virin Vedder>review this information and then track
your child's language proficiency.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3699-0
00:17:06.875 --> 00:17:09.929
<v Virin Vedder>Progress over time,
because in 4th grade you'll have taken</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3699-1
00:17:09.929 --> 00:17:14.070
<v Virin Vedder>the you'll have three domains listed,
which you're gonna in 8th grade hopefully</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3699-2
00:17:14.070 --> 00:17:18.056
<v Virin Vedder>see a huge growth in their language
progression in the those four years time</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3699-3
00:17:18.056 --> 00:17:21.524
<v Virin Vedder>since they last took it.
And then next year you'll get a chance to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3699-4
00:17:21.524 --> 00:17:24.475
<v Virin Vedder>kind of see where they're coming along in
their writing.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3764-0
00:17:24.555 --> 00:17:27.646
<v Virin Vedder>Progress.
So please check that out if you have not</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3764-1
00:17:27.646 --> 00:17:31.283
<v Virin Vedder>looked at that before.
So now let's move on to high school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3764-2
00:17:31.283 --> 00:17:35.829
<v Virin Vedder>We talked briefly about middle school and
I know that's our focus tonight,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3764-3
00:17:35.829 --> 00:17:40.921
<v Virin Vedder>but let's kind of preview what's to come.
Gwinnett County Public Schools honors its</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3764-4
00:17:40.921 --> 00:17:44.315
<v Virin Vedder>commitment to DLI parents and students
with a seamless.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3818-0
00:17:44.395 --> 00:17:47.405
<v Virin Vedder>K12 program.
And so as students move into high school,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3818-1
00:17:47.405 --> 00:17:51.564
<v Virin Vedder>we don't lose sight of our goals stated
from the first day of kindergarten.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3818-2
00:17:51.564 --> 00:17:55.778
<v Virin Vedder>Students in the GCPS DLI program will
become bilingual and biliterate and be</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3818-3
00:17:55.778 --> 00:18:00.046
<v Virin Vedder>able to successfully navigate multiple
cultures in their lives and careers if</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3818-4
00:18:00.046 --> 00:18:03.330
<v Virin Vedder>they're able to make a long term
commitment to the program.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3818-5
00:18:03.330 --> 00:18:04.315
<v Virin Vedder>So in high school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3858-0
00:18:04.395 --> 00:18:09.424
<v Virin Vedder>We now flipped from the three P's to
alliteration with three C's,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3858-1
00:18:09.424 --> 00:18:15.138
<v Virin Vedder>and we turn our attention and focus to
connecting students learning to the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3858-2
00:18:15.138 --> 00:18:20.776
<v Virin Vedder>career and or college options that await
them after graduation from GCPS.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3858-3
00:18:20.776 --> 00:18:23.595
<v Virin Vedder>Let's look at kind of how we do that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3900-0
00:18:25.355 --> 00:18:30.326
<v Virin Vedder>Students successfully leaving 8th grade
DLI continuation, remember,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3900-1
00:18:30.326 --> 00:18:36.175
<v Virin Vedder>will have earned 3 Carnegie Unit credits.
They're going to leave 8th grade with</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3900-2
00:18:36.175 --> 00:18:41.512
<v Virin Vedder>French 3, Spanish 3, Korean 3.
So in 9th grade they will enroll in Level</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3900-3
00:18:41.512 --> 00:18:42.755
<v Virin Vedder>4 language study.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3952-0
00:18:42.875 --> 00:18:46.104
<v Virin Vedder>In 10th grade,
DLI French and Spanish continuation</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3952-1
00:18:46.104 --> 00:18:50.284
<v Virin Vedder>students will enroll in the Advanced
Placement Language course or</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3952-2
00:18:50.284 --> 00:18:53.577
<v Virin Vedder>International Baccalaureate course if
it's offered,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3952-3
00:18:53.577 --> 00:18:56.489
<v Virin Vedder>which that is the case at Shiloh High
School.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3952-4
00:18:56.489 --> 00:19:01.112
<v Virin Vedder>The Advanced Placement program offers
high school students college level</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3952-5
00:19:01.112 --> 00:19:02.315
<v Virin Vedder>coursework with an.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3992-0
00:19:02.475 --> 00:19:07.453
<v Virin Vedder>Accompanying exam and taking AP courses
in high school could give students an</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3992-1
00:19:07.453 --> 00:19:11.857
<v Virin Vedder>advantage in college by letting students
either earn college credit,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3992-2
00:19:11.857 --> 00:19:16.133
<v Virin Vedder>earn Advanced Placement,
and potentially skip introductory courses</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3992-3
00:19:16.133 --> 00:19:19.133
<v Virin Vedder>in college,
save time and money by potentially</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/3992-4
00:19:19.133 --> 00:19:19.835
<v Virin Vedder>opening up.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4035-0
00:19:19.835 --> 00:19:24.718
<v Virin Vedder>Space in a college schedule or even
allowing for possible early graduation</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4035-1
00:19:24.718 --> 00:19:29.341
<v Virin Vedder>and kind of standing out to colleges
because AP or IB on a high school</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4035-2
00:19:29.341 --> 00:19:34.354
<v Virin Vedder>student's transcript shows colleges that
college level work has already been</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4035-3
00:19:34.354 --> 00:19:34.875
<v Virin Vedder>tackled.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4069-0
00:19:35.115 --> 00:19:39.936
<v Virin Vedder>11th and 12th graders have additional
options to continue language study,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4069-1
00:19:39.936 --> 00:19:44.561
<v Virin Vedder>as illustrated in this slide.
Dual enrollment is a program that allows</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4069-2
00:19:44.561 --> 00:19:49.578
<v Virin Vedder>high school students to earn college
credit while also working on their high</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4069-3
00:19:49.578 --> 00:19:50.555
<v Virin Vedder>school diploma.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4095-0
00:19:50.635 --> 00:19:55.923
<v Virin Vedder>And right now, at the present,
the state pays all tuition and additional</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4095-1
00:19:55.923 --> 00:20:01.790
<v Virin Vedder>costs associated with dual enrollment,
potentially potentially allowing students</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4095-2
00:20:01.790 --> 00:20:04.035
<v Virin Vedder>and you to save time and money.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4144-0
00:20:06.475 --> 00:20:12.455
<v Virin Vedder>This seal right here says the Biliteracy
Diploma Seal from the Georgia Department</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4144-1
00:20:12.455 --> 00:20:16.613
<v Virin Vedder>of Education.
That's what that acronym GADOE stands for.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4144-2
00:20:16.613 --> 00:20:22.082
<v Virin Vedder>And the Georgia Seal of Biliteracy is
awarded to high school graduates who</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4144-3
00:20:22.082 --> 00:20:24.635
<v Virin Vedder>demonstrate proficiency in English.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4194-0
00:20:24.675 --> 00:20:30.217
<v Virin Vedder>And at least one additional language.
This prestigious recognition highlights</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4194-1
00:20:30.217 --> 00:20:33.485
<v Virin Vedder>students linguistic capabilities to
colleges,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4194-2
00:20:33.485 --> 00:20:38.955
<v Virin Vedder>employers and scholarship committees.
The Georgia Seal of Biliteracy has two</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4194-3
00:20:38.955 --> 00:20:43.715
<v Virin Vedder>components for eligibility. First,
a student must receive a three.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4240-0
00:20:44.435 --> 00:20:49.133
<v Virin Vedder>3.0 GPA or higher,
so AB level or higher on all four years</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4240-1
00:20:49.133 --> 00:20:54.946
<v Virin Vedder>of English language arts study during
high school. And then in addition,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4240-2
00:20:54.946 --> 00:21:00.599
<v Virin Vedder>they must score an advanced level on a
qualifying language proficiency</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4240-3
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:01.475
<v Virin Vedder>assessment.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4291-0
00:21:01.955 --> 00:21:05.598
<v Virin Vedder>So as a reminder,
our DLI students are going to take that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4291-1
00:21:05.598 --> 00:21:08.738
<v Virin Vedder>Advanced Placement language course in
10th grade,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4291-2
00:21:08.738 --> 00:21:13.888
<v Virin Vedder>and they will have the option to take the
Advanced Placement language test in May</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4291-3
00:21:13.888 --> 00:21:18.661
<v Virin Vedder>at the conclusion of that course.
The score potential on the AP test ranges</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4291-4
00:21:18.661 --> 00:21:21.675
<v Virin Vedder>from 1:00 to 5:00,
with five being the highest.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4350-0
00:21:21.875 --> 00:21:25.643
<v Virin Vedder>If a student receives a score of four or
five on that AP exam,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4350-1
00:21:25.643 --> 00:21:30.309
<v Virin Vedder>then they will automatically have met
that second eligibility requirement for</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4350-2
00:21:30.309 --> 00:21:35.273
<v Virin Vedder>the Georgia Seal of Biliteracy. So again,
I'm reminding you about the carrots that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4350-3
00:21:35.273 --> 00:21:38.204
<v Virin Vedder>we're continually dangling in front of
students.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4350-4
00:21:38.204 --> 00:21:40.955
<v Virin Vedder>This would be another carrot for why to
keep.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4402-0
00:21:41.715 --> 00:21:41.875
<v Virin Vedder>Going.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4415-0
00:21:42.275 --> 00:21:45.482
<v Virin Vedder>In high school,
because by taking the Advanced Placement</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4415-1
00:21:45.482 --> 00:21:49.534
<v Virin Vedder>course and potentially taking and passing
that Advanced Placement test,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4415-2
00:21:49.534 --> 00:21:54.036
<v Virin Vedder>they already have met the first of two
criteria to be eligible for that Georgia</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4415-3
00:21:54.036 --> 00:21:57.412
<v Virin Vedder>Seal of Biliteracy,
which our office sends out to students.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4415-4
00:21:57.412 --> 00:22:01.013
<v Virin Vedder>And it is exactly this.
It's a gold seal that will be mailed to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4415-5
00:22:01.013 --> 00:22:02.195
<v Virin Vedder>you that can be then.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4424-0
00:22:02.275 --> 00:22:06.817
<v Virin Vedder>Placed on a child's high school diploma
or their transcript and shared with</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4424-1
00:22:06.817 --> 00:22:07.235
<v Virin Vedder>others.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4461-0
00:22:09.155 --> 00:22:12.894
<v Virin Vedder>So on the graph here,
notice after 11th grade and 12th grade,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4461-1
00:22:12.894 --> 00:22:17.598
<v Virin Vedder>we talk about this dual enrollment option,
potentially a new language option.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4461-2
00:22:17.598 --> 00:22:20.915
<v Virin Vedder>And let's dig in a little bit more to
dual enrollment.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4505-0
00:22:22.435 --> 00:22:27.267
<v Virin Vedder>GCPS is actively working with external
partners to provide additional language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4505-1
00:22:27.267 --> 00:22:31.671
<v Virin Vedder>opportunities for our students.
Here you see an example of some ongoing</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4505-2
00:22:31.671 --> 00:22:36.626
<v Virin Vedder>conversation we are having with Kennesaw
State University as a potential virtual</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4505-3
00:22:36.626 --> 00:22:38.155
<v Virin Vedder>dual enrollment provider.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4575-0
00:22:38.955 --> 00:22:43.077
<v Virin Vedder>You'll note that if a student scores a
four or five on an AP test,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4575-1
00:22:43.077 --> 00:22:47.631
<v Virin Vedder>Kennesaw State is prepared to award them
university credit as if they had</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4575-2
00:22:47.631 --> 00:22:52.491
<v Virin Vedder>completed four courses on their campus,
and then by completing just three more</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4575-3
00:22:52.491 --> 00:22:55.445
<v Virin Vedder>courses,
which potentially could be done during</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4575-4
00:22:55.445 --> 00:22:58.275
<v Virin Vedder>their junior and senior years of high
school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4618-0
00:22:58.275 --> 00:23:02.112
<v Virin Vedder>Via dual enrollment,
students can exit high school having</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4618-1
00:23:02.112 --> 00:23:07.272
<v Virin Vedder>already earned a college minor in that
language at Kennesaw State University,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4618-2
00:23:07.272 --> 00:23:10.117
<v Virin Vedder>which,
because it is a State University of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4618-3
00:23:10.117 --> 00:23:13.557
<v Virin Vedder>system school,
means that credits could transfer to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4618-4
00:23:13.557 --> 00:23:15.475
<v Virin Vedder>another university of system.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4669-0
00:23:15.555 --> 00:23:18.183
<v Virin Vedder>School.
So that's one partner that we're working</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4669-1
00:23:18.183 --> 00:23:21.507
<v Virin Vedder>with and Georgia State University is
another. In high school,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4669-2
00:23:21.507 --> 00:23:25.905
<v Virin Vedder>you will have opportunity to access the
dual enrollment coordinator for your high</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4669-3
00:23:25.905 --> 00:23:29.390
<v Virin Vedder>school and they can speak more
specifically about these options.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4669-4
00:23:29.390 --> 00:23:32.125
<v Virin Vedder>But again,
kind of just putting a preview in front</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4669-5
00:23:32.125 --> 00:23:32.715
<v Virin Vedder>of you now.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4716-0
00:23:33.875 --> 00:23:38.002
<v Virin Vedder>So let's return back now for a second to
the level we're at elementary school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4716-1
00:23:38.002 --> 00:23:42.285
<v Virin Vedder>And what you see pictured here is what a
typical day might look like for your DLI</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4716-2
00:23:42.285 --> 00:23:45.838
<v Virin Vedder>student and what they've been doing
kindergarten through 5th grade.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4716-3
00:23:45.838 --> 00:23:49.703
<v Virin Vedder>In this image that we captured,
you'll see students are learning language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4716-4
00:23:49.703 --> 00:23:52.315
<v Virin Vedder>through content. In this example,
we see Spanish.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4718-0
00:23:52.395 --> 00:23:54.595
<v Virin Vedder>And math coming to life.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4778-0
00:23:57.715 --> 00:24:01.262
<v Virin Vedder>In middle school,
we pivot OK instruction away from that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4778-1
00:24:01.262 --> 00:24:05.742
<v Virin Vedder>core content and then we continue to
learn in the partner language in a</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4778-2
00:24:05.742 --> 00:24:10.408
<v Virin Vedder>culture rich immersion environment with
additional focus on refining those</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4778-3
00:24:10.408 --> 00:24:14.017
<v Virin Vedder>language skills.
So here in this picture you see students</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4778-4
00:24:14.017 --> 00:24:17.315
<v Virin Vedder>using technology called a language
laboratory where.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4834-0
00:24:17.315 --> 00:24:20.443
<v Virin Vedder>Those things on their ears are headsets
and microphones,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4834-1
00:24:20.443 --> 00:24:24.559
<v Virin Vedder>and their teacher is intentionally
pairing them with students and peers in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4834-2
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.851
<v Virin Vedder>that classroom that may not,
or may be seated next to them,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4834-3
00:24:27.851 --> 00:24:31.363
<v Virin Vedder>but they're having conversations to
advance the language study.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4834-4
00:24:31.363 --> 00:24:35.095
<v Virin Vedder>They might be writing about some topics
that they're talking about,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4834-5
00:24:35.095 --> 00:24:37.235
<v Virin Vedder>but a different way of kind of digging.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4843-0
00:24:37.315 --> 00:24:41.286
<v Virin Vedder>Into the language and practicing it in a
context like that they are not doing</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4843-1
00:24:41.286 --> 00:24:41.795
<v Virin Vedder>presently.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4908-0
00:24:42.675 --> 00:24:47.143
<v Virin Vedder>So DLI Middle School continuation
students have the chance to experience</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4908-1
00:24:47.143 --> 00:24:51.305
<v Virin Vedder>middle school as a traditional regular
education student. Remember,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4908-2
00:24:51.305 --> 00:24:56.202
<v Virin Vedder>they're going to have their four core
classes in English and likely be mixed in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4908-3
00:24:56.202 --> 00:25:00.915
<v Virin Vedder>with students who were not in DLI during
their elementary school experience.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4969-0
00:25:00.995 --> 00:25:04.631
<v Virin Vedder>But at the same time,
they are going to have a chance to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4969-1
00:25:04.631 --> 00:25:08.905
<v Virin Vedder>experience their familiar cohort of
students when they go to their</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4969-2
00:25:08.905 --> 00:25:13.051
<v Virin Vedder>Connections class each day.
Let me back up and say the four core</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4969-3
00:25:13.051 --> 00:25:18.027
<v Virin Vedder>connection core academic classes are
usually sprinkled throughout the day and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/4969-4
00:25:18.027 --> 00:25:20.515
<v Virin Vedder>then two Connections classes happen at.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5016-0
00:25:20.595 --> 00:25:25.230
<v Virin Vedder>At some point within a student's schedule,
where they happen in the day will depend</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5016-1
00:25:25.230 --> 00:25:29.424
<v Virin Vedder>on on the middle school that you're
attending and the grade level that your</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5016-2
00:25:29.424 --> 00:25:32.459
<v Virin Vedder>child is in.
As it varies from year to year to year in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5016-3
00:25:32.459 --> 00:25:35.328
<v Virin Vedder>middle school,
there is no recess in middle school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5016-4
00:25:35.328 --> 00:25:37.315
<v Virin Vedder>There is of course still lunch, but.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5056-0
00:25:37.995 --> 00:25:43.035
<v Virin Vedder>Recess time disappears and Connections
time kind of replaces what in elementary</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5056-1
00:25:43.035 --> 00:25:47.068
<v Virin Vedder>school are called specials, all right.
Except in middle school,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5056-2
00:25:47.068 --> 00:25:51.982
<v Virin Vedder>these Connections classes are year long
and are seen by students every day as</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5056-3
00:25:51.982 --> 00:25:52.675
<v Virin Vedder>opposed to.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5063-0
00:25:52.755 --> 00:25:56.035
<v Virin Vedder>On a rotating basis like is done in the
case of elementary school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5129-0
00:25:57.435 --> 00:26:02.574
<v Virin Vedder>So this slide sort of recaps the GCPSDLI
continuation model with the overarching</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5129-1
00:26:02.574 --> 00:26:07.269
<v Virin Vedder>goals of pivoting towards language
precision in preparation for continued</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5129-2
00:26:07.269 --> 00:26:11.710
<v Virin Vedder>advanced study of languages,
with the ultimate destination goal being</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5129-3
00:26:11.710 --> 00:26:16.595
<v Virin Vedder>that your child will leave high school as
a bilingual, biliterate and multi.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5180-0
00:26:16.675 --> 00:26:21.135
<v Virin Vedder>Culturally aware graduate.
And so of course we just again extend our</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5180-1
00:26:21.135 --> 00:26:25.595
<v Virin Vedder>appreciation and gratitude for your
support in this journey and your</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5180-2
00:26:25.595 --> 00:26:28.891
<v Virin Vedder>partnering with us along this walk.
And with that,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5180-3
00:26:28.891 --> 00:26:33.545
<v Virin Vedder>I am going to pause and open this up for
questions. And as I explained,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5180-4
00:26:33.545 --> 00:26:36.195
<v Virin Vedder>Miss Galindo is going to help facilitate.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5188-0
00:26:36.275 --> 00:26:39.134
<v Virin Vedder>This please,
if you've been typing in the chat,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5188-1
00:26:39.134 --> 00:26:41.635
<v Virin Vedder>we'll get to those first. So Miss Galindo.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5244-0
00:26:44.035 --> 00:26:49.164
<v Diana Galindo>I believe the majority of the questions
in the chat have been responded to.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5244-1
00:26:49.164 --> 00:26:53.686
<v Diana Galindo>However, just for the good of the group,
one question did come up.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5244-2
00:26:53.686 --> 00:26:58.478
<v Diana Galindo>It was if the Carnegie credits that
students receive in middle school,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5244-3
00:26:58.478 --> 00:27:03.675
<v Diana Galindo>how they will be reflected in terms of
hope and in terms of high school GPA.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5246-0

00:27:04.715 --> 00:27:08.647
<v Virin Vedder>Great question.
So because these credits are earned in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5278-1
00:27:08.647 --> 00:27:12.436
<v Virin Vedder>middle school,
they will not count for Hope and they</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5278-2
00:27:12.436 --> 00:27:18.084
<v Virin Vedder>will not count for GPA. As a parent,
you'll have the option to deny taking the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5278-3
00:27:18.084 --> 00:27:20.515
<v Virin Vedder>Carnegie credit if you so desired.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5309-0
00:27:20.835 --> 00:27:25.729
<v Virin Vedder>But as it stands now,
there will not be a link to this in terms</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5309-1
00:27:25.729 --> 00:27:31.617
<v Virin Vedder>of that GPA calculation for high school
or for Hope scholarship information,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5309-2
00:27:31.617 --> 00:27:33.835
<v Virin Vedder>Hope scholarship eligibility.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5334-0
00:27:34.915 --> 00:27:37.814
<v Virin Vedder>In the chat,
we also just dumped A1 page flyer that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5334-1
00:27:37.814 --> 00:27:42.106
<v Virin Vedder>kind of summarizes those same courses,
and in a moment we'll we'll share the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5334-2
00:27:42.106 --> 00:27:43.555
<v Virin Vedder>entire slide deck as well.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5367-0
00:27:44.995 --> 00:27:50.122
<v Diana Galindo>The most recent question that came up
states how is it structured with native</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5367-1
00:27:50.122 --> 00:27:53.868
<v Diana Galindo>and non-native students who are vastly
different levels?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5367-2
00:27:53.868 --> 00:27:56.892
<v Diana Galindo>Some students are already essentially
fluent,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5367-3
00:27:56.892 --> 00:27:59.915
<v Diana Galindo>while others are still at a more basic
level.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5414-0
00:28:00.795 --> 00:28:00.875
<v Virin Vedder>Hey.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5425-0
00:28:01.635 --> 00:28:04.955
<v Virin Vedder>So in this instance,
it's kind of reflecting what we've been</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5425-1
00:28:04.955 --> 00:28:08.874
<v Virin Vedder>doing already in elementary school.
We are fortunate to have some great</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5425-2
00:28:08.874 --> 00:28:12.575
<v Virin Vedder>language models in our classes,
maybe some students whose immersion</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5425-3
00:28:12.575 --> 00:28:16.820
<v Virin Vedder>language is that partner language and
therefore kind of represent peer models</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5425-4
00:28:16.820 --> 00:28:20.086
<v Virin Vedder>for language use,
while other students might be stronger on</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5425-5
00:28:20.086 --> 00:28:21.555
<v Virin Vedder>the English side right now.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5471-0
00:28:21.635 --> 00:28:26.517
<v Virin Vedder>In terms of the two teacher model,
that trend continues into middle school</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5471-1
00:28:26.517 --> 00:28:31.465
<v Virin Vedder>with students who have maybe more
advanced level language skills being able</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5471-2
00:28:31.465 --> 00:28:36.217
<v Virin Vedder>to help support the development of
students who who are still growing in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5471-3
00:28:36.217 --> 00:28:40.383
<v Virin Vedder>their language proficiency,
but maybe already at a little lower</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5471-4
00:28:40.383 --> 00:28:41.555
<v Virin Vedder>proficiency level.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5533-0
00:28:41.635 --> 00:28:46.054
<v Virin Vedder>And the teacher is able to kind of
differentiate and give the students who</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5533-1
00:28:46.054 --> 00:28:50.767
<v Virin Vedder>have higher language proficiencies maybe
different tasks or extended tasks that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5533-2
00:28:50.767 --> 00:28:54.420
<v Virin Vedder>are still aligned to the same themes and
the same curriculum,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5533-3
00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:58.072
<v Virin Vedder>but maybe kind of approach it maybe in
terms of their levels.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5533-4
00:28:58.072 --> 00:29:01.195
<v Virin Vedder>So our teachers are kind of skilled at
what we call.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5551-0
00:29:01.355 --> 00:29:05.378
<v Virin Vedder>Differentiating or meeting each student
where he or she is at in their</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5551-1
00:29:05.378 --> 00:29:09.515
<v Virin Vedder>developmental needs and that kind of
trend continues into middle school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5586-0
00:29:10.595 --> 00:29:15.244
<v Diana Galindo>Another question that was asked that we
responded in the chat earlier,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5586-1
00:29:15.244 --> 00:29:20.547
<v Diana Galindo>but just for the good of the group was
what occurs when a student fails a course</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5586-2
00:29:20.547 --> 00:29:23.035
<v Diana Galindo>in middle school if it can be retaken.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5622-0
00:29:24.315 --> 00:29:28.601
<v Virin Vedder>Great question.
So if a child fails the year-long course,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5622-1
00:29:28.601 --> 00:29:34.807
<v Virin Vedder>it is not something that that that can be
repeated because of the sequential nature</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5622-2
00:29:34.807 --> 00:29:40.275
<v Virin Vedder>of 6th grade is is one class and then 7th
and 8th grade is another class.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5667-0
00:29:40.595 --> 00:29:44.398
<v Virin Vedder>Obviously, if a student is struggling,
the the teacher and potentially the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5667-1
00:29:44.398 --> 00:29:48.455
<v Virin Vedder>administrative team will look to see what
supports might be able to be offered.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5667-2
00:29:48.455 --> 00:29:52.157
<v Virin Vedder>We know some schools offer, well,
all schools usually offer some sort of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5667-3
00:29:52.157 --> 00:29:56.315
<v Virin Vedder>help session opportunity for students to
come in and get some additional support.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5718-0
00:29:56.355 --> 00:30:00.625
<v Virin Vedder>There can be also some retesting with
reteaching opportunities that are often</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5718-1
00:30:00.625 --> 00:30:04.841
<v Virin Vedder>common in the middle school setting
because each school kind of manages that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5718-2
00:30:04.841 --> 00:30:08.783
<v Virin Vedder>process a little bit differently.
One of the reasons we're holding this</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5718-3
00:30:08.783 --> 00:30:13.163
<v Virin Vedder>meeting now is because you're likely to
be going to your middle school to learn</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5718-4
00:30:13.163 --> 00:30:15.955
<v Virin Vedder>more specifically about how everything is
done at.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5754-0
00:30:16.275 --> 00:30:19.424
<v Virin Vedder>At your middle school.
And so those would be great questions to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5754-1
00:30:19.424 --> 00:30:22.966
<v Virin Vedder>ask at your your child's actual
individual middle school. This meeting,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5754-2
00:30:22.966 --> 00:30:25.721
<v Virin Vedder>we're trying to keep generic across all
of our schools.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5754-3
00:30:25.721 --> 00:30:29.854
<v Virin Vedder>That's a great question that might have a
specific answer depending on which middle</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5754-4
00:30:29.854 --> 00:30:31.035
<v Virin Vedder>school you're attending.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5783-0
00:30:33.155 --> 00:30:37.720
<v Diana Galindo>I believe we answered all of the
questions in the chat thus far. Wait,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5783-1
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.963
<v Diana Galindo>so we can open it up if that's all right
with you, Doctor Vedder,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5783-2
00:30:41.963 --> 00:30:45.435
<v Diana Galindo>to people asking questions through their
microphones.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5848-0
00:30:45.155 --> 00:30:48.699
<v Virin Vedder>Please. And also note,
we just also dropped into the chat the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5848-1
00:30:48.699 --> 00:30:53.272
<v Virin Vedder>actual slide show and you'll see in the
notes section of the slide deck the the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5848-2
00:30:53.272 --> 00:30:57.959
<v Virin Vedder>script that kind of went along with each
of those slides since we know that was a</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5848-3
00:30:57.959 --> 00:31:02.189
<v Virin Vedder>lot of information to digest. OK,
what did we not answer? What questions,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5848-4
00:31:02.189 --> 00:31:04.875
<v Virin Vedder>what fears,
what concerns might be a bubbling?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5850-0
00:31:04.955 --> 00:31:06.515
<v Virin Vedder>Pulling in your head right now.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5859-0
00:31:09.475 --> 00:31:13.235
<v Vanessa Michener>Do you see my hand up? My name is Vanessa.
Is that OK to go?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5860-0
00:31:14.635 --> 00:31:15.115
<v Virin Vedder>Please.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5909-0
00:31:15.715 --> 00:31:19.107
<v Vanessa Michener>Oh, perfect.
So you have a lot of great carrots.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5909-1
00:31:19.107 --> 00:31:23.261
<v Vanessa Michener>So maybe here's another carrot you could
potentially share.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5909-2
00:31:23.261 --> 00:31:27.484
<v Vanessa Michener>So my child is a non-native speaker.
And so on the one hand,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5909-3
00:31:27.484 --> 00:31:33.092
<v Vanessa Michener>I would certainly want to nurture her to
learn in both of the electives that are</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5909-4
00:31:33.092 --> 00:31:35.515
<v Vanessa Michener>that are possible. But on the other</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5967-0
00:31:35.715 --> 00:31:40.154
<v Vanessa Michener>like It's also a time of of middle school
is a time for them to like explore and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5967-1
00:31:40.154 --> 00:31:44.594
<v Vanessa Michener>see if there's new talents or skills or
things that they might be interested in.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5967-2
00:31:44.594 --> 00:31:48.321
<v Vanessa Michener>And so I also don't want to hold her back
from other opportunities,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5967-3
00:31:48.321 --> 00:31:51.170
<v Vanessa Michener>like whether it be in the arts or music,
et cetera.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5967-4
00:31:51.170 --> 00:31:55.555
<v Vanessa Michener>So what kind of advice would you give to
parents that were sort of in my shoes?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5969-0
00:31:55.795 --> 00:31:56.115
<v Vanessa Michener>Use.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6024-0
00:31:57.075 --> 00:32:00.485
<v Virin Vedder>That is a great question, Miss Michener,
and truthfully,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/5971-0
00:31:57.515 --> 00:31:58.595
<v Vanessa Michener>That is a great.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6024-1
00:32:00.485 --> 00:32:05.031
<v Virin Vedder>you have to put on your parent hat and
and help cultivate what your child's</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6024-2
00:32:05.031 --> 00:32:08.261
<v Virin Vedder>interests are.
And if you close a door to a potential</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6024-3
00:32:08.261 --> 00:32:11.432
<v Virin Vedder>interest that they're showing some desire
to pursue,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6024-4
00:32:11.432 --> 00:32:15.619
<v Virin Vedder>my speaking now as a parent is that I
would allow the door to open to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6024-5
00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:16.995
<v Virin Vedder>additional opportunity.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6065-0
00:32:17.075 --> 00:32:21.688
<v Virin Vedder>While our middle school model ideally
allows for a student to be in both</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6065-1
00:32:21.688 --> 00:32:24.216
<v Virin Vedder>classes,
that's going to be what really</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6065-2
00:32:24.216 --> 00:32:27.059
<v Virin Vedder>accelerates the language learning.
You know,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6065-3
00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:32.368
<v Virin Vedder>to say that having opportunity to explore
other things would is not as important as</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6065-4
00:32:32.368 --> 00:32:36.475
<v Virin Vedder>language would be a complete,
in my opinion, disservice and and.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6118-0
00:32:36.995 --> 00:32:41.904
<v Virin Vedder>So I would say if your child is still
interested in language and they continue</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6118-1
00:32:41.904 --> 00:32:44.638
<v Virin Vedder>minimally with that year long level
course,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6118-2
00:32:44.638 --> 00:32:48.056
<v Virin Vedder>they are going to still continue with
language growth.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6118-3
00:32:48.056 --> 00:32:52.033
<v Virin Vedder>Will it be as an accelerated of a rate as
if they did both? No.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6118-4
00:32:52.033 --> 00:32:56.755
<v Virin Vedder>But will they still continue growing? Yes.
And that is ultimately the goal.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6154-0
00:32:56.835 --> 00:32:59.950
<v Virin Vedder>Along the way,
they are also picking up an ability to do</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6154-1
00:32:59.950 --> 00:33:02.628
<v Virin Vedder>something else.
I see that as kind of a win win.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6154-2
00:33:02.628 --> 00:33:05.251
<v Virin Vedder>So I don't know if I'm answering your
question,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6154-3
00:33:05.251 --> 00:33:08.093
<v Virin Vedder>but I'm hopefully saying that this will
be, I know,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6154-4
00:33:08.093 --> 00:33:11.755
<v Virin Vedder>something that you have to kind of
grapple with with your student.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6161-0
00:33:12.035 --> 00:33:16.955
<v Virin Vedder>And and I don't think there's a lose,
lose situation here.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6162-0
00:33:17.715 --> 00:33:17.995
<v Vanessa Michener>Thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6163-0
00:33:18.555 --> 00:33:18.795
<v Virin Vedder>Sure.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6209-0
00:33:24.595 --> 00:33:29.546
<v Qiong>I have a question.
So for those students that are non-native</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6209-1
00:33:29.546 --> 00:33:34.985
<v Qiong>speakers, do we have something?
So my son's in the Korean program,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6209-2
00:33:34.985 --> 00:33:41.235
<v Qiong>something to where we could say, OK,
at 4th grade you need to know XY and Z.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6241-0
00:33:41.715 --> 00:33:45.491
<v Qiong>And 5th grade, XY and Z,
like how we have the AKS and all that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6241-1
00:33:45.491 --> 00:33:49.974
<v Qiong>Is there something where we know, OK,
the child is on the right path or OK,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6241-2
00:33:49.974 --> 00:33:54.635
<v Qiong>the child is not on the right path and
what do we do to get them to that path?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6291-0
00:33:55.075 --> 00:33:57.949
<v Virin Vedder>Great question.
So our Korean program is a little bit</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6291-1
00:33:57.949 --> 00:34:01.621
<v Virin Vedder>newer in that we just entered 6th grade
this year. We unfortunately,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6291-2
00:34:01.621 --> 00:34:04.868
<v Virin Vedder>as everybody knows,
had that COVID pause that really kind of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6291-3
00:34:04.868 --> 00:34:07.848
<v Virin Vedder>set things back.
So we are now putting some pieces into</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6291-4
00:34:07.848 --> 00:34:12.213
<v Virin Vedder>place to answer your question to kind of
help better inform parents along the way</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6291-5
00:34:12.213 --> 00:34:14.235
<v Virin Vedder>if a student is tracking in the right.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6335-0
00:34:14.315 --> 00:34:19.452
<v Virin Vedder>Direction as far as that language growth
to be able to essentially navigate</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6335-1
00:34:19.452 --> 00:34:24.995
<v Virin Vedder>successfully that advanced language and
literacy course and then that high school</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6335-2
00:34:24.995 --> 00:34:28.443
<v Virin Vedder>Level 3 continuation class as 7th and 8th
graders.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6335-3
00:34:28.443 --> 00:34:31.620
<v Virin Vedder>So during upcoming parent teacher
conferences,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6335-4
00:34:31.620 --> 00:34:33.715
<v Virin Vedder>that would be a great question.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6384-0
00:34:33.795 --> 00:34:38.421
<v Virin Vedder>Kind of pose to your child's teacher if
that's not something already brought up.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6384-1
00:34:38.421 --> 00:34:41.619
<v Virin Vedder>But right now,
if your child is successful in 5th grade</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6384-2
00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:44.132
<v Virin Vedder>and they're successful in math and
science,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6384-3
00:34:44.132 --> 00:34:47.159
<v Virin Vedder>and that content is being presented in
the language,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6384-4
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.042
<v Virin Vedder>that is a general indication that they do
have some language skill.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6384-5
00:34:51.042 --> 00:34:53.555
<v Virin Vedder>Now in middle school, of course,
we're not.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6439-0
00:34:53.675 --> 00:34:57.444
<v Virin Vedder>Focused on math and science anymore,
so developing a well-rounded language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6439-1
00:34:57.444 --> 00:35:00.761
<v Virin Vedder>skill is part of what the middle school
curriculum will be about.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6439-2
00:35:00.761 --> 00:35:04.782
<v Virin Vedder>So there is going to be some language
growth for all students because there are</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6439-3
00:35:04.782 --> 00:35:08.802
<v Virin Vedder>going to be some new concepts that are
presented in middle school that have not</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6439-4
00:35:08.802 --> 00:35:12.672
<v Virin Vedder>been directly or formally taught in
elementary because our focus has been so</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6439-5
00:35:12.672 --> 00:35:13.275
<v Virin Vedder>intentional.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6486-0
00:35:13.555 --> 00:35:17.360
<v Virin Vedder>On that math and science content.
So it's kind of a journey and it's going</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6486-1
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:19.745
<v Virin Vedder>to be something that as we go on that
journey,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6486-2
00:35:19.745 --> 00:35:22.180
<v Virin Vedder>I know you'll be brought into the
conversation.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6486-3
00:35:22.180 --> 00:35:25.986
<v Virin Vedder>Should there be some concerns with that
development piece? As I mentioned,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6486-4
00:35:25.986 --> 00:35:29.233
<v Virin Vedder>if there are concerns,
there still can be some opportunities to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6486-5
00:35:29.233 --> 00:35:32.835
<v Virin Vedder>have some intervention at our middle
school level with some different.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6521-0
00:35:32.835 --> 00:35:36.904
<v Virin Vedder>Either before or after school tutoring or
maybe even during the day options that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6521-1
00:35:36.904 --> 00:35:39.517
<v Virin Vedder>kind of help provide some of that
language support.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6521-2
00:35:39.517 --> 00:35:43.586
<v Virin Vedder>And that's something that at each school
they're they're kind of working through</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6521-3
00:35:43.586 --> 00:35:45.797
<v Virin Vedder>the plan of how to to deliver that
support.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6521-4
00:35:45.797 --> 00:35:47.555
<v Virin Vedder>So I hope I answered your question.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6571-0
00:35:49.075 --> 00:35:52.375
<v Qiong>But some of the tests,
even though so I my son does well,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6571-1
00:35:52.375 --> 00:35:54.879
<v Qiong>but I still feel like the language
portion.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6571-2
00:35:54.879 --> 00:35:59.431
<v Qiong>I don't know if he is getting the Korean
part because when I get the test back,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6571-3
00:35:59.431 --> 00:36:02.788
<v Qiong>it's in English, it's in Korean,
but it's also in English.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6571-4
00:36:02.788 --> 00:36:06.600
<v Qiong>So he's probably reading the English part
and not the Korean part.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6571-5
00:36:06.600 --> 00:36:07.795
<v Qiong>So I just don't know.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6606-0
00:36:08.115 --> 00:36:12.426
<v Qiong>How, how is that being done?
I guess in other languages like Spanish</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6606-1
00:36:12.426 --> 00:36:15.925
<v Qiong>and French that are those tests in
Spanish and English,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6606-2
00:36:15.925 --> 00:36:20.735
<v Qiong>like how Korean is to where we know is
the child really getting the language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6606-3
00:36:20.735 --> 00:36:21.235
<v Qiong>portion?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6656-0
00:36:21.555 --> 00:36:25.195
<v Virin Vedder>It's a great question and the the answer
should be that the majority of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6656-1
00:36:25.195 --> 00:36:27.875
<v Virin Vedder>assessments are in the language of that
instruction.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6656-2
00:36:27.875 --> 00:36:31.818
<v Virin Vedder>So social studies being in English,
math and science would typically be being</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6656-3
00:36:31.818 --> 00:36:34.902
<v Virin Vedder>delivered in the immersion language.
So Korean in your case.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6656-4
00:36:34.902 --> 00:36:38.239
<v Virin Vedder>If that is not the case,
then I would say at again parent teacher</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6656-5
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.475
<v Virin Vedder>conference that could be a question to
pose to the the teacher.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6702-0
00:36:41.555 --> 00:36:45.573
<v Virin Vedder>I'm not obviously sure which particular
assessments you're talking about,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6702-1
00:36:45.573 --> 00:36:48.614
<v Virin Vedder>but if that's something you routinely
have been seeing,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6702-2
00:36:48.614 --> 00:36:53.067
<v Virin Vedder>that is something that we would want to
dig into a little deeper and I'd be happy</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6702-3
00:36:53.067 --> 00:36:57.520
<v Virin Vedder>to have some additional conversation with
you about that or to help navigate that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6702-4
00:36:57.520 --> 00:37:00.289
<v Virin Vedder>further.
But you should be seeing a lot of content</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6702-5
00:37:00.289 --> 00:37:00.995
<v Virin Vedder>happening in.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6706-0
00:37:01.075 --> 00:37:02.795
<v Virin Vedder>Korean in 5th grade.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6727-0
00:37:03.155 --> 00:37:05.533
<v Qiong>OK, OK. Yeah,
I don't think I'm seeing that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6727-1
00:37:05.533 --> 00:37:09.496
<v Qiong>So that's why I was wondering 'cause he's
seeing reading the English part.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6727-2
00:37:09.496 --> 00:37:11.715
<v Qiong>When I get test back, I see it in English.</v>

00:37:12.475 --> 00:37:14.555
<v Virin Vedder>Thank you for that feedback.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6771-0
00:37:15.315 --> 00:37:18.562
<v Diana Galindo>All right,
and we have another question in the chat,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6744-0
00:37:15.635 --> 00:37:19.035
<v Raphiel Noel>Right, and we have another question.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6771-1
00:37:18.562 --> 00:37:23.341
<v Diana Galindo>and it states for the students who opt to
take one elective of their language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6771-2
00:37:23.341 --> 00:37:28.304
<v Diana Galindo>course in middle school instead of two,
do they enter high school at a different</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6771-3
00:37:28.304 --> 00:37:30.755
<v Diana Galindo>level than those students who take both?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6821-0
00:37:32.715 --> 00:37:35.752
<v Virin Vedder>Great question. So Miss Bank,
the answer is no.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6821-1
00:37:35.752 --> 00:37:40.371
<v Virin Vedder>They will enter at the same path.
So a student completing 8th grade goes</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6821-2
00:37:40.371 --> 00:37:44.990
<v Virin Vedder>into 9th grade Level 4 language,
whether they've taken the one course or</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6821-3
00:37:44.990 --> 00:37:48.471
<v Virin Vedder>both. The culture,
history and media literacy courses,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6821-4
00:37:48.471 --> 00:37:50.875
<v Virin Vedder>as their names kind of imply, provide.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6877-0
00:37:50.915 --> 00:37:55.572
<v Virin Vedder>Apply provide access to some additional
content and additional language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6877-1
00:37:55.572 --> 00:37:58.871
<v Virin Vedder>vocabulary.
So what a student is getting by taking</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6877-2
00:37:58.871 --> 00:38:01.782
<v Virin Vedder>the full suite of courses is in that
funnel.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6877-3
00:38:01.782 --> 00:38:06.828
<v Virin Vedder>They're kind of going wider in the funnel,
not necessarily higher, but wider.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6877-4
00:38:06.828 --> 00:38:10.515
<v Virin Vedder>That's the aim.
So they're developing more well-rounded.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6909-0
00:38:10.555 --> 00:38:15.566
<v Virin Vedder>Deeper vocabulary content and knowledge.
But as far as proficiency language skills</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6909-1
00:38:15.566 --> 00:38:19.612
<v Virin Vedder>in terms of what's needed to level enter
into that level 4 course,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6909-2
00:38:19.612 --> 00:38:22.631
<v Virin Vedder>a student will be entering the same into
level 4,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6909-3
00:38:22.631 --> 00:38:26.555
<v Virin Vedder>whether they've had both classes each
year or just just the one.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6911-0
00:38:26.675 --> 00:38:27.835
<v Virin Vedder>Good question.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6956-0
00:38:30.995 --> 00:38:34.861
<v Mirela Kimbrough>Doctor Weather,
I I have a quick question for you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6956-1
00:38:34.861 --> 00:38:38.576
<v Mirela Kimbrough>If we choose to possibly in 6th grade,
you know,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6956-2
00:38:38.576 --> 00:38:43.200
<v Mirela Kimbrough>give our child the opportunity to take a
different elective,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6956-3
00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:48.355
<v Mirela Kimbrough>maybe one one DLI and then maybe chorus,
let's say for example and.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6988-0
00:38:49.315 --> 00:38:55.224
<v Mirela Kimbrough>Depending on how that goes,
if we wanted the following year 7th grade</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6988-1
00:38:55.224 --> 00:39:01.471
<v Mirela Kimbrough>for her to do 2 electives of DLI,
is that possible or do we have to stick</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/6988-2
00:39:01.471 --> 00:39:03.835
<v Mirela Kimbrough>with that 11 elective track?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7027-0
00:39:03.835 --> 00:39:07.779
<v Virin Vedder>Good question, Miss Kimbra.
So each school will usually have a a</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7027-1
00:39:07.779 --> 00:39:12.209
<v Virin Vedder>specific process that they will follow
for students to kind of select or</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7027-2
00:39:12.209 --> 00:39:17.124
<v Virin Vedder>continue their connection classes for
each year. In the example you just shared,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7027-3
00:39:17.124 --> 00:39:19.915
<v Virin Vedder>I would not foresee a problem with a
student.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7079-0
00:39:19.915 --> 00:39:23.470
<v Virin Vedder>Trying something 6th grade in the way of
maybe, like you said,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7079-1
00:39:23.470 --> 00:39:27.364
<v Virin Vedder>chorus or band or orchestra.
And then if it is not the fit that they</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7079-2
00:39:27.364 --> 00:39:30.863
<v Virin Vedder>thought it would be,
being able to jump back in in 7th or 8th</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7079-3
00:39:30.863 --> 00:39:34.587
<v Virin Vedder>grade to DLI for the Culture,
History and Media Literacy courses.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7079-4
00:39:34.587 --> 00:39:37.578
<v Virin Vedder>That Culture,
History and Media Literacy course is a</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7079-5
00:39:37.578 --> 00:39:39.835
<v Virin Vedder>self-contained modular course each year.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7103-0
00:39:39.915 --> 00:39:44.386
<v Virin Vedder>It is not designed to have it be like a
prerequisite for the next grade level</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7103-1
00:39:44.386 --> 00:39:49.201
<v Virin Vedder>course so they students can enter in 7th
grade not having had the 6th grade course.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7103-2
00:39:49.201 --> 00:39:51.035
<v Virin Vedder>I hope I answered your question.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7170-0
00:39:57.755 --> 00:40:02.752
<v Diana Galindo>And there is another question in the chat
and I'm going to add answer a portion of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7170-1
00:40:02.752 --> 00:40:06.966
<v Diana Galindo>it and perhaps you'd like to add on to
that Doctor Vedder. It states,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7170-2
00:40:06.966 --> 00:40:11.722
<v Diana Galindo>will there be additional support at the
county level to help students who need</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7170-3
00:40:11.722 --> 00:40:15.515
<v Diana Galindo>additional support for Spanish?
It has varied across clusters.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7225-0
00:40:15.755 --> 00:40:19.388
<v Diana Galindo>And it's been difficult to find tutors.
So with that in mind,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7225-1
00:40:19.388 --> 00:40:23.548
<v Diana Galindo>I do want to express that at the middle
school and high school levels,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7225-2
00:40:23.548 --> 00:40:28.411
<v Diana Galindo>teachers do offer tutoring hours because
there is more flexibility in the schedule</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7225-3
00:40:28.411 --> 00:40:31.692
<v Diana Galindo>to allow for that,
whether it's before school starts or</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7225-4
00:40:31.692 --> 00:40:34.915
<v Diana Galindo>after school starts.
A lot of middle schools offer it.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7260-0
00:40:34.955 --> 00:40:38.380
<v Diana Galindo>Prior to the beginning of the regular
school day,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7260-1
00:40:38.380 --> 00:40:43.929
<v Diana Galindo>so your student can receive additional
differentiated one-on-one help with their</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7260-2
00:40:43.929 --> 00:40:48.176
<v Diana Galindo>teacher who is teaching the course and is
aware of, you know,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7260-3
00:40:48.176 --> 00:40:53.656
<v Diana Galindo>their growth areas and other areas where
they're stronger and to better support</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7260-4
00:40:53.656 --> 00:40:55.095
<v Diana Galindo>their specific needs.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7283-0
00:41:01.835 --> 00:41:05.340
<v Diana Galindo>And I don't currently see any other hands
up.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7283-1
00:41:05.340 --> 00:41:11.435
<v Diana Galindo>Feel free to add additional questions to
the chat or just simply start talking.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7305-0
00:41:13.035 --> 00:41:16.731
<v Qiong>Hey Doctor Redder,
can we have a Korean DLI meeting just</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7305-1
00:41:16.731 --> 00:41:21.595
<v Qiong>because I think the format is slightly
different than the other languages.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7307-0
00:41:23.515 --> 00:41:24.515
<v Qiong>At middle school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7352-0
00:41:24.315 --> 00:41:27.482
<v Virin Vedder>I can check that.
What I can say is that I believe Hall</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7352-1
00:41:27.482 --> 00:41:31.724
<v Virin Vedder>Middle School is going to have an
upcoming parent night where I'll inquire</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7352-2
00:41:31.724 --> 00:41:36.192
<v Virin Vedder>to see if this is something that they're
going to address specifically for DLI</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7352-3
00:41:36.192 --> 00:41:38.794
<v Virin Vedder>parents.
It's a it's a fair question and I'll</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7352-4
00:41:38.794 --> 00:41:39.755
<v Virin Vedder>reach out to the.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7370-0
00:41:39.835 --> 00:41:42.091
<v Virin Vedder>Middle school,
our colleagues over there to see if</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7370-1
00:41:42.091 --> 00:41:45.408
<v Virin Vedder>that's going to be part of their already
planned meeting. And if it's not,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7370-2
00:41:45.408 --> 00:41:48.195
<v Virin Vedder>then absolutely that's something we could
facilitate for sure.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7371-0
00:41:48.235 --> 00:41:49.315
<v Qiong>OK. Thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7372-0
00:41:49.475 --> 00:41:49.915
<v Virin Vedder>Sure.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7392-0
00:41:52.235 --> 00:41:56.793
<v Diana Galindo>There is an additional question in the
chat that states would these students be</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7392-1
00:41:56.793 --> 00:41:59.755
<v Diana Galindo>exempt from PE if they take two
connection courses?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7427-0
00:42:00.315 --> 00:42:04.578
<v Virin Vedder>So Miss Michener,
right now there is no state requirement</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7427-1
00:42:04.578 --> 00:42:10.016
<v Virin Vedder>for students to take physical education
and so as a result there is not a</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7427-2
00:42:10.016 --> 00:42:15.675
<v Virin Vedder>conflict with our model and a student
having to take physical education, so.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7437-0
00:42:15.915 --> 00:42:18.890
<v Virin Vedder>I guess effectively yes,
they are exempt from PE just by the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7437-1
00:42:18.890 --> 00:42:21.475
<v Virin Vedder>virtue of the fact that it is not a
required course.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7446-0
00:42:28.235 --> 00:42:31.875
<v Qiong>They're exempt for middle school,
not for high school, correct?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7491-0
00:42:32.795 --> 00:42:35.722
<v Virin Vedder>Correct.
There is a high school PE requirement</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7491-1
00:42:35.722 --> 00:42:40.454
<v Virin Vedder>that students take at a high school
health and PE requirement that students</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7491-2
00:42:40.454 --> 00:42:44.128
<v Virin Vedder>take during the course of their four
years in high school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7491-3
00:42:44.128 --> 00:42:48.736
<v Virin Vedder>I know that there is a summer school
option for that course that a lot of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7491-4
00:42:48.736 --> 00:42:50.355
<v Virin Vedder>parents take advantage of.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7499-0
00:42:50.635 --> 00:42:55.795
<v Virin Vedder>But the high school requirement would not
conflict with with DLI either.</v>

00:42:58.635 --> 00:43:04.296
<v Diana Galindo>Another great question in the chat.
If they only take one course a year,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7515-1
00:43:04.296 --> 00:43:07.475
<v Diana Galindo>are they ineligible for AP in 10th grade?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7528-0
00:43:08.835 --> 00:43:12.055
<v Virin Vedder>No,
they would enter 9th grade in Level 4 and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7528-1
00:43:12.055 --> 00:43:14.435
<v Virin Vedder>our 10th grade Advanced Placement.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7558-0
00:43:33.755 --> 00:43:38.674
<v Diana Galindo>We have a very efficient group.
They have asked all of their questions</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7558-1
00:43:38.674 --> 00:43:43.662
<v Diana Galindo>and hopefully this presentation has
assisted in answering any lingering</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7558-2
00:43:43.662 --> 00:43:44.355
<v Diana Galindo>questions.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7603-0
00:43:45.915 --> 00:43:49.054
<v Virin Vedder>Great.
Another question from Miss Kimbrough</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7603-1
00:43:49.054 --> 00:43:54.406
<v Virin Vedder>about the length of each elective class.
Each middle school will set their</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7603-2
00:43:54.406 --> 00:43:58.972
<v Virin Vedder>electives differently.
Some middle schools a student will go to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7603-3
00:43:58.972 --> 00:44:03.039
<v Virin Vedder>two electives each,
two connection classes each day with</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7603-4
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:04.395
<v Virin Vedder>roughly 45 minutes.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7652-0
00:44:05.435 --> 00:44:08.011
<v Virin Vedder>Minutes per period.
In other middle schools,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7652-1
00:44:08.011 --> 00:44:12.476
<v Virin Vedder>what they do is they do what's called a
block schedule and a student will see</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7652-2
00:44:12.476 --> 00:44:17.170
<v Virin Vedder>their just one connection class each day,
but for 90 minutes, say during the day,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7652-3
00:44:17.170 --> 00:44:21.348
<v Virin Vedder>and then the next day they would see
their other connection class for 90</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7652-4
00:44:21.348 --> 00:44:24.840
<v Virin Vedder>minutes. So on average,
most middle schools have a 45 minute</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7652-5
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:25.355
<v Virin Vedder>elective.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7667-0
00:44:25.435 --> 00:44:28.296
<v Virin Vedder>Period.
Whether it's two elective periods each</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7667-1
00:44:28.296 --> 00:44:33.228
<v Virin Vedder>day or just the blocked one on that every
other day kind of situation is what is</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7667-2
00:44:33.228 --> 00:44:35.115
<v Virin Vedder>specific to each middle school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7729-0
00:44:43.635 --> 00:44:47.642
<v Virin Vedder>We will hang out for a few more moments,
but be respectful certainly of your time.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7729-1
00:44:47.642 --> 00:44:50.539
<v Virin Vedder>Again, thank you.
Thank you for being part of this journey.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7729-2
00:44:50.539 --> 00:44:54.594
<v Virin Vedder>Thank you for your faith in this program.
We certainly hope that you've been seeing</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7729-3
00:44:54.594 --> 00:44:58.408
<v Virin Vedder>language growth from your children and
want to just thank you for your support</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7729-4
00:44:58.408 --> 00:45:00.967
<v Virin Vedder>of that journey in and in your homes.
And with that,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7729-5
00:45:00.967 --> 00:45:02.995
<v Virin Vedder>we wish you certainly a wonderful evening.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7736-0
00:45:03.435 --> 00:45:08.755
<v Virin Vedder>And thank you and wish you a great and
your student into this school year.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7798-0
00:45:12.195 --> 00:45:16.785
<v Qiong>Doctor Vedder, one more quick question.
Are there lists that the school can</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7798-1
00:45:16.785 --> 00:45:21.556
<v Qiong>provide of maybe that the language tutors
that I know some like some teachers,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7798-2
00:45:21.556 --> 00:45:26.266
<v Qiong>they're, let's say they teach math,
but they're a native Spanish speaker that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7798-3
00:45:26.266 --> 00:45:30.675
<v Qiong>they can help the student or they're
willing to do tutoring or you know?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7790-0
00:45:29.555 --> 00:45:31.075
<v Virin Vedder>Mhm, mhm.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7824-0
00:45:31.395 --> 00:45:34.420
<v Qiong>Korean teacher that's, you know,
it's a English teacher,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7824-1
00:45:34.420 --> 00:45:38.560
<v Qiong>but they speak Spanish 'cause that's
their native language that they can help</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7811-0
00:45:37.235 --> 00:45:37.715
<v Virin Vedder>Mhm.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7824-2
00:45:38.560 --> 00:45:41.373
<v Qiong>the students.
Is there's a list or something parents</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7869-0
00:45:40.875 --> 00:45:44.213
<v Virin Vedder>It's a wonderful question.
The short answer is no.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7824-3
00:45:41.373 --> 00:45:42.435
<v Qiong>can have to kind of.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7869-1
00:45:44.213 --> 00:45:48.730
<v Virin Vedder>We have not ever tabulated one.
But having worked in a middle school</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7869-2
00:45:48.730 --> 00:45:51.806
<v Virin Vedder>before,
what I know you might try is you could</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7869-3
00:45:51.806 --> 00:45:56.388
<v Virin Vedder>ask the the school counselor because
often some oftentimes the school</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7869-4
00:45:56.388 --> 00:46:00.315
<v Virin Vedder>counselors will ask teachers in the
school if they're open.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7923-0
00:46:00.875 --> 00:46:04.433
<v Virin Vedder>To tutoring, and if so,
what their subjects are that they prefer</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7923-1
00:46:04.433 --> 00:46:07.498
<v Virin Vedder>to tutor in,
maybe what the rates are that they charge.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7923-2
00:46:07.498 --> 00:46:11.932
<v Virin Vedder>And then that is a list that can be given
to parents to potentially comb through</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7923-3
00:46:11.932 --> 00:46:16.256
<v Virin Vedder>and see if there's a tutor out there.
What I would say in the immediate moment</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7923-4
00:46:16.256 --> 00:46:20.635
<v Virin Vedder>is you could ask again at upcoming parent
conference or send an e-mail to your.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7966-0
00:46:20.955 --> 00:46:25.032
<v Virin Vedder>Child's current teacher to see if they
know of any colleagues who might do</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7966-1
00:46:25.032 --> 00:46:29.381
<v Virin Vedder>tutoring on the side because they might
be your best bet to tap into to kind of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7966-2
00:46:29.381 --> 00:46:33.187
<v Virin Vedder>find out because it's kind of an off
contract thing that teachers do.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7966-3
00:46:33.187 --> 00:46:37.155
<v Virin Vedder>The the school system don't doesn't
really organize that component, but.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7950-0
00:46:33.195 --> 00:46:33.675
<v Qiong>Mhm.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7981-0
00:46:37.195 --> 00:46:39.417
<v Virin Vedder>You know,
if you reach out to your child's teacher,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7981-1
00:46:39.417 --> 00:46:42.835
<v Virin Vedder>they might be able to kind of put feelers
out and and get you that information.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7994-0
00:46:43.435 --> 00:46:46.802
<v Qiong>OK, yeah, I know they have a regular list.
I just don't know if they have one</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/7994-1
00:46:46.802 --> 00:46:47.795
<v Qiong>specific for languages.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8033-0
00:46:48.795 --> 00:46:52.368
<v Virin Vedder>Probably not. I I mean,
but that might just mean we need to be</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8000-0
00:46:49.635 --> 00:46:49.875
<v Qiong>Yeah.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8033-1
00:46:52.368 --> 00:46:55.828
<v Virin Vedder>the person asking that question and then
that gets answered.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8033-2
00:46:55.828 --> 00:46:58.437
<v Virin Vedder>So if you would be willing to maybe ask
that,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8033-3
00:46:58.437 --> 00:47:03.088
<v Virin Vedder>I I'm probably guessing that that could
be easily added to whatever list is built</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8024-0
00:46:59.395 --> 00:46:59.635
<v Qiong>OK.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8033-4
00:47:03.088 --> 00:47:03.315
<v Virin Vedder>now.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8035-0
00:47:03.435 --> 00:47:05.600
<v Qiong>OK,
I'll ask at this next school council</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8035-1
00:47:05.600 --> 00:47:06.075
<v Qiong>meetings.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8057-0
00:47:06.235 --> 00:47:09.328
<v Virin Vedder>Awesome. Thank you.
And Miss Wickham has answered that at</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8057-1
00:47:09.328 --> 00:47:12.635
<v Virin Vedder>Hall Middle School. Yeah,
the counselors do have that list of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8057-2
00:47:12.635 --> 00:47:13.595
<v Virin Vedder>tutors. Thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8067-0
00:47:16.195 --> 00:47:20.195
<v Virin Vedder>And I share the presentation. Yes,
let me make sure I do that. Um.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8071-0
00:47:21.275 --> 00:47:22.595
<v Virin Vedder>There it is again. Oh.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8109-0
00:47:37.675 --> 00:47:41.186
<v Diana Galindo>And Joanne,
the recording will be available once we</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8109-1
00:47:41.186 --> 00:47:45.101
<v Diana Galindo>have finished this.
It has been paused and we process it.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8109-2
00:47:45.101 --> 00:47:50.435
<v Diana Galindo>It will be posted on the GCPS website,
so it will be easily accessible to you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8110-0
00:47:52.915 --> 00:47:53.755
<v Jo Ann Morrison>Thank you so much.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8155-0
00:48:33.115 --> 00:48:37.283
<v Qiong>Actually, another quick question,
Doctor Vet, for the Apple test,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8155-1
00:48:37.283 --> 00:48:41.893
<v Qiong>are there study guides or guides?
You know how on the DOE there's guides</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8155-2
00:48:41.893 --> 00:48:44.671
<v Qiong>for AKS,
whatever testing that we're doing?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8155-3
00:48:44.671 --> 00:48:46.755
<v Qiong>Is there something for the Apple?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8159-0
00:48:51.275 --> 00:48:52.835
<v Qiong>You're on mute, Sir.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8193-0
00:48:54.795 --> 00:48:59.286
<v Virin Vedder>Thank you.
What Apple does provide are sample tests</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8193-1
00:48:59.286 --> 00:49:06.542
<v Virin Vedder>and if you Google just Apple sample test,
you can go and actually do a preview of a</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8193-2
00:49:06.542 --> 00:49:10.515
<v Virin Vedder>test in whatever language you want to
choose.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8237-0
00:49:10.955 --> 00:49:15.607
<v Virin Vedder>They also publish a list of common themes
that are on many of the tests.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8237-1
00:49:15.607 --> 00:49:18.475
<v Virin Vedder>Each year they kind of revise them a
little,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8237-2
00:49:18.475 --> 00:49:23.828
<v Virin Vedder>but they stick within very similar themes
from year to year that students are going</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8237-3
00:49:23.828 --> 00:49:28.544
<v Virin Vedder>to be expected to write about or talk
about or read about or listen about</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8237-4
00:49:28.544 --> 00:49:29.755
<v Virin Vedder>things like family.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8264-0
00:49:30.235 --> 00:49:34.988
<v Virin Vedder>Home, travel, community.
The themes are generally similar every</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8264-1
00:49:34.988 --> 00:49:40.334
<v Virin Vedder>year, so if you Google like test topics,
Apple or Apple practice tests,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8264-2
00:49:40.334 --> 00:49:45.235
<v Virin Vedder>you should be able to find that
information that I'm referencing.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8266-0
00:49:46.675 --> 00:49:47.795
<v Qiong>OK. Thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8267-0
00:49:47.675 --> 00:49:48.595
<v Virin Vedder>Yeah. Thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8331-0
00:50:00.875 --> 00:50:05.036
<v Tijani, Adenike>Sorry, I asked a question on the chat,
but I realized we could just ask</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8331-1
00:50:05.036 --> 00:50:08.330
<v Tijani, Adenike>questions here.
Is it typical not to get feedback on the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8331-2
00:50:08.330 --> 00:50:11.046
<v Tijani, Adenike>Apple test?
My daughter's in 4th and I haven't</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8331-3
00:50:11.046 --> 00:50:15.554
<v Tijani, Adenike>received any feedback and I happened to
be looking through the documents in I</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8331-4
00:50:15.554 --> 00:50:19.888
<v Tijani, Adenike>think Parents Square and I saw the test
there and I wasn't directed to it.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8331-5
00:50:19.888 --> 00:50:20.755
<v Tijani, Adenike>No one told me.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8377-0
00:50:41.155 --> 00:50:41.395
<v Virin Vedder>Yeah.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8382-0
00:50:41.435 --> 00:50:44.275
<v Tijani, Adenike>To formalize that rather than not saying
anything.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8447-0
00:50:44.635 --> 00:50:48.500
<v Virin Vedder>I I concur 100% and thank you for for
sharing that concern. Yes,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8447-1
00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:53.376
<v Virin Vedder>you should have received some feedback or
at least acknowledgement about where to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8447-2
00:50:53.376 --> 00:50:57.181
<v Virin Vedder>go to find that information.
So I'm glad that you were able to,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8447-3
00:50:57.181 --> 00:51:00.035
<v Virin Vedder>you know,
discover it on your own and I'm sorry</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8447-4
00:51:00.035 --> 00:51:04.435
<v Virin Vedder>that that was your experience of how you
learned the information I guess.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8478-0
00:51:04.555 --> 00:51:09.343
<v Virin Vedder>That's what I would suggest right now,
given the situation and kind of where we</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8478-1
00:51:09.343 --> 00:51:12.575
<v Virin Vedder>are in the calendar with upcoming parent
conferences,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8478-2
00:51:12.575 --> 00:51:17.422
<v Virin Vedder>I would use the opportunity to ask that
question in your parent conference like,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8478-3
00:51:17.422 --> 00:51:20.175
<v Virin Vedder>hey,
can you give me some additional feedback</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8478-4
00:51:20.175 --> 00:51:20.355
<v Virin Vedder>on?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8537-0
00:51:20.555 --> 00:51:24.721
<v Virin Vedder>My child's Apple scores,
your child's teacher has received the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8537-1
00:51:24.721 --> 00:51:28.557
<v Virin Vedder>score information,
has has some additional tools that can</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8537-2
00:51:28.557 --> 00:51:34.111
<v Virin Vedder>help kind of process some of the results.
And so if you can potentially ask that at</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8537-3
00:51:34.111 --> 00:51:38.410
<v Virin Vedder>your child's conference,
I think that might be an opportunity to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8537-4
00:51:38.410 --> 00:51:40.195
<v Virin Vedder>gain some more information.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8570-0
00:51:40.475 --> 00:51:44.003
<v Virin Vedder>And if you take that route and and you
haven't gotten anywhere,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8570-1
00:51:44.003 --> 00:51:48.192
<v Virin Vedder>then I would suggest reaching out to your
school's DLI assistant principal,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8570-2
00:51:48.192 --> 00:51:52.767
<v Virin Vedder>who's also been given some guidance from
our office about those scores and and how</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8570-3
00:51:52.767 --> 00:51:54.035
<v Virin Vedder>to help interpret them.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8574-0
00:51:55.235 --> 00:51:57.955
<v Virin Vedder>Great question and I'm sorry for that
situation.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8569-0
00:51:55.955 --> 00:51:56.355
<v Tijani, Adenike>Thanks.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8576-0
00:51:58.195 --> 00:51:58.915
<v Tijani, Adenike>No, thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8602-0
00:52:11.195 --> 00:52:17.183
<v Virin Vedder>Miss Palacios? Yes, following the meeting.
Of course, if you have questions,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8602-1
00:52:17.183 --> 00:52:22.315
<v Virin Vedder>please feel free to reach out.
I can place my e-mail in the chat.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8648-0
00:52:24.315 --> 00:52:29.410
<v Virin Vedder>And as we mentioned that the recording
for this will be available on our GCPSDLI</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8648-1
00:52:29.410 --> 00:52:32.492
<v Virin Vedder>website.
So that might be another opportunity to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8648-2
00:52:32.492 --> 00:52:36.895
<v Virin Vedder>go back and get some additional
information and I'll try to place the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8648-3
00:52:36.895 --> 00:52:41.675
<v Virin Vedder>direct link to that website in here as
well. Give me a moment to pull that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8696-0
00:52:43.515 --> 00:52:46.825
<v Virin Vedder>Thank you, Miss Galindo.
Reach out to either one of us.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8696-1
00:52:46.825 --> 00:52:51.435
<v Virin Vedder>We'll be happy to help maybe Orient you.
What I would say is if it's a middle</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8696-2
00:52:51.435 --> 00:52:55.218
<v Virin Vedder>school specific question,
I would ask you first to reach out to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8696-3
00:52:55.218 --> 00:52:58.646
<v Virin Vedder>your middle school.
You're going to be hearing a lot more</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8696-4
00:52:58.646 --> 00:53:00.715
<v Virin Vedder>information about rising 6th grade.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8708-0
00:53:01.595 --> 00:53:04.834
<v Virin Vedder>Excuse me,
the the administrative team that is</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8708-1
00:53:04.834 --> 00:53:08.555
<v Virin Vedder>sharing that information probably would
be the first.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8718-0
00:53:09.755 --> 00:53:13.435
<v Virin Vedder>Person I would reach out to to find out
about.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8743-0
00:53:15.675 --> 00:53:19.234
<v Virin Vedder>A middle school specific question,
because like I've mentioned,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8743-1
00:53:19.234 --> 00:53:23.682
<v Virin Vedder>each middle school kind of does things
specific to their school and their local</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8743-2
00:53:23.682 --> 00:53:25.795
<v Virin Vedder>population. So that would be my first.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8745-0
00:53:26.875 --> 00:53:28.195
<v Virin Vedder>Recommendation.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8761-0
00:53:33.155 --> 00:53:36.867
<v Virin Vedder>Thank you, Miss Galindo,
for posting where those archived</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8761-1
00:53:36.867 --> 00:53:39.555
<v Virin Vedder>recordings will live, including tonight's.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8795-0
00:53:40.075 --> 00:53:44.444

when you do select that link and look for</v>

00:53:44.444 --> 00:53:48.813

please be sure to scroll all the way to</v>

00:53:48.813 --> 00:53:52.042
<v Diana Galindo>the very bottom of the page.
It's a little longer,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8795-3
00:53:52.042 --> 00:53:54.195
<v Diana Galindo>but it is available on the bottom.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8846-0
00:54:04.395 --> 00:54:07.706
<v Trina Jackson>I'm sorry,
I was cooking and I was kind of waiting</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8846-1
00:54:07.706 --> 00:54:12.251
<v Trina Jackson>for the answer. By any chance,
do you guys have any stats for student</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8846-2
00:54:12.251 --> 00:54:15.498
<v Trina Jackson>retention and success for the DLI program
so far?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8846-3
00:54:15.498 --> 00:54:20.627
<v Trina Jackson>I know like the cohort that's at the
beginning still hasn't finished, I think,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8846-4
00:54:20.627 --> 00:54:22.315
<v Trina Jackson>but do you have any stats?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8870-0
00:54:22.555 --> 00:54:28.235
<v Virin Vedder>Great question, Miss Jackson.
Only if you can give us some of the meal</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8854-0
00:54:28.075 --> 00:54:30.875
<v Trina Jackson>We're having nachos, so come on through.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8870-1
00:54:28.235 --> 00:54:34.155
<v Virin Vedder>that you cooked. Oh yum, I'll take that.
The the the short answer is yes,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8870-2
00:54:34.155 --> 00:54:36.235
<v Virin Vedder>but not in a really fully.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8928-0
00:54:37.675 --> 00:54:42.112
<v Virin Vedder>Presented and and honestly deep enough
manner to to share much because that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8928-1
00:54:42.112 --> 00:54:44.680
<v Virin Vedder>initial cohort, you're right,
great memory.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8928-2
00:54:44.680 --> 00:54:49.000
<v Virin Vedder>They are in 11th grade this year,
so they haven't yet obviously left high</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8928-3
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:51.744
<v Virin Vedder>school.
We do know from last year that pioneer</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8928-4
00:54:51.744 --> 00:54:54.313
<v Virin Vedder>cohort of students that were in 10th
grade,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8928-5
00:54:54.313 --> 00:54:57.115
<v Virin Vedder>we did have a solid number of kids who
started.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8985-0
00:54:57.235 --> 00:55:02.052
<v Virin Vedder>From kindergarten and who finished at
least the 10th grade year experience.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8985-1
00:55:02.052 --> 00:55:05.157
<v Virin Vedder>However,
because we had COVID playing into that,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8985-2
00:55:05.157 --> 00:55:09.974
<v Virin Vedder>and that was our pioneer cohort of
students who had honestly the first time</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8985-3
00:55:09.974 --> 00:55:13.713
<v Virin Vedder>ever a DLI teacher in their grade level
all along the way,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/8985-4
00:55:13.713 --> 00:55:16.755
<v Virin Vedder>we don't feel like it's necessarily
typical of.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9059-0
00:55:16.955 --> 00:55:20.661
<v Virin Vedder>Of what future cohorts will look like.
So we don't have enough longitudinal</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9059-1
00:55:20.661 --> 00:55:23.635
<v Virin Vedder>information right now to kind of give
that that information.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9059-2
00:55:23.635 --> 00:55:27.584
<v Virin Vedder>What we can share is that we definitely
have had some attrition as we go through</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9059-3
00:55:27.584 --> 00:55:30.070
<v Virin Vedder>the levels.
We lose students when they go from 5th</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9059-4
00:55:30.070 --> 00:55:33.776
<v Virin Vedder>grade into middle school and then
sometimes we lose some students when they</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9059-5
00:55:33.776 --> 00:55:36.555
<v Virin Vedder>move from middle school into high school,
but even with.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9069-0
00:55:36.635 --> 00:55:39.560
<v Virin Vedder>That said,
we we have a solid cohort of students who</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9069-1
00:55:39.560 --> 00:55:42.264
<v Virin Vedder>finished 10th grade,
at least with us last year,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9069-2
00:55:42.264 --> 00:55:44.195
<v Virin Vedder>and who started in in kindergarten.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9102-0
00:55:49.715 --> 00:55:54.471
<v Virin Vedder>Yeah, so Miss Murdock,
there's an example of some local</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9102-1
00:55:54.471 --> 00:55:58.293
<v Virin Vedder>retention,
at least in the Parkview cluster,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9102-2
00:55:58.293 --> 00:56:02.795
<v Virin Vedder>from Camp Creek to Trickum to Parkview,
and that is.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9161-0
00:56:03.435 --> 00:56:07.111
<v Virin Vedder>Not necessarily typical of what is the
case in other schools as well.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9161-1
00:56:07.111 --> 00:56:11.102
<v Virin Vedder>In many of our schools, you know,
we have a high transiency and mobility of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9161-2
00:56:11.102 --> 00:56:13.413
<v Virin Vedder>students moving from the cluster,
you know,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9161-3
00:56:13.413 --> 00:56:17.299
<v Virin Vedder>for different life opportunities.
And and that of course impacts DLI just</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9161-4
00:56:17.299 --> 00:56:20.607
<v Virin Vedder>like it does not DLI.
So that's in play in some of our schools</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9161-5
00:56:20.607 --> 00:56:22.235
<v Virin Vedder>more so than in others as well.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9211-0
00:56:22.235 --> 00:56:26.812
<v Virin Vedder>Miss Wiley's asked about the 8th grade
Apple scores and where they should be at</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9211-1
00:56:26.812 --> 00:56:29.558
<v Virin Vedder>this point.
We did just get back Apple results.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9211-2
00:56:29.558 --> 00:56:33.963
<v Virin Vedder>Our students took that in November.
And I can say that at least when we look</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9211-3
00:56:33.963 --> 00:56:38.082
<v Virin Vedder>at the total of our students,
we are in a lot of the domains kind of on</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9211-4
00:56:38.082 --> 00:56:41.915
<v Virin Vedder>track of where we would like to be at the
end of this school year.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9263-0
00:56:41.995 --> 00:56:46.025
<v Virin Vedder>We are still really working on getting
our students to to speak.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9263-1
00:56:46.025 --> 00:56:50.303
<v Virin Vedder>I'll be just transparent in that when I,
and this is Viren speaking,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9263-2
00:56:50.303 --> 00:56:54.953
<v Virin Vedder>you know we have screen agers now and
there's a tendency to be involved in</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9263-3
00:56:54.953 --> 00:56:59.851
<v Virin Vedder>technology a lot and that's making it
very hard to have conversational skills,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9263-4
00:56:59.851 --> 00:57:01.835
<v Virin Vedder>not just in DLI, but across all.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9309-0
00:57:01.835 --> 00:57:05.327
<v Virin Vedder>All of our content areas, but within DLI,
clearly that's an issue, right,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9309-1
00:57:05.327 --> 00:57:08.535
<v Virin Vedder>when our goal is to give some
communication skills to our students.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9309-2
00:57:08.535 --> 00:57:10.847
<v Virin Vedder>So that is something that we're working
through.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9309-3
00:57:10.847 --> 00:57:12.970
<v Virin Vedder>We're helping our teachers develop,
I guess,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9309-4
00:57:12.970 --> 00:57:15.612
<v Virin Vedder>strategies and activities to help kind of
address that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9309-5
00:57:15.612 --> 00:57:19.245
<v Virin Vedder>And so that's something that we're
helping support our teachers with as they</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9309-6
00:57:19.245 --> 00:57:20.755
<v Virin Vedder>navigate this challenge as well.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9320-0
00:57:23.595 --> 00:57:26.515
<v Qiong>Go ahead. No, no, go ahead, Vanessa.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9366-0
00:57:24.075 --> 00:57:28.016
<v Vanessa Michener>Just a super quick, just a sorry,
just a super quick follow because it it</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9366-1
00:57:28.016 --> 00:57:31.691
<v Vanessa Michener>just to piggyback off of that.
So is that part of what because I saw</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9366-2
00:57:31.691 --> 00:57:36.005
<v Vanessa Michener>that one of the electives was that media,
is that something that like I I didn't</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9366-3
00:57:36.005 --> 00:57:38.348
<v Vanessa Michener>really understand what they would be
doing,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9366-4
00:57:38.348 --> 00:57:42.076
<v Vanessa Michener>but is that something to kind of like
engage them in a way that could</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9366-5
00:57:42.076 --> 00:57:42.715
<v Vanessa Michener>potentially?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9382-0
00:57:42.795 --> 00:57:45.508
<v Vanessa Michener>Meet them where they're at,
but also make it engaging for the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9382-1
00:57:45.508 --> 00:57:47.915
<v Vanessa Michener>language is.
I'm not really sure about the media part.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9459-0
00:57:48.555 --> 00:57:52.505
<v Virin Vedder>Good question, Miss Michener. Yeah,
it does. It does sound very cool.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9387-0
00:57:49.715 --> 00:57:51.035
<v Vanessa Michener>Sounds cool.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9459-1
00:57:52.505 --> 00:57:55.045
<v Virin Vedder>The goal of that class is to leverage
media,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9459-2
00:57:55.045 --> 00:57:58.261
<v Virin Vedder>and that's something we know students are
into. So yeah,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9459-3
00:57:58.261 --> 00:58:02.945
<v Virin Vedder>it could involve taking a song, you know,
from a particular immersion language and</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9459-4
00:58:02.945 --> 00:58:05.428
<v Virin Vedder>students doing something with those
lyrics.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9459-5
00:58:05.428 --> 00:58:08.475
<v Virin Vedder>It could involve watching a broadcast
from a country.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9514-0
00:58:08.475 --> 00:58:12.962
<v Virin Vedder>Where the language is used, for example,
a meteorology report coming in from</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9514-1
00:58:12.962 --> 00:58:16.924
<v Virin Vedder>Madrid for tomorrow morning and students
doing something with that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9514-2
00:58:16.924 --> 00:58:21.119
<v Virin Vedder>It can involve doing things with
artificial intelligence and leveraging</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9514-3
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:25.781
<v Virin Vedder>obviously AI in a way that is responsible
but also helps leverage language use.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9514-4
00:58:25.781 --> 00:58:27.995
<v Virin Vedder>There's some great topics that can be.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9555-0
00:58:27.995 --> 00:58:32.384
<v Virin Vedder>We kind of discovered and dug into more
into that course and that and the culture</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9555-1
00:58:32.384 --> 00:58:36.290
<v Virin Vedder>and history class are really meant to be.
I I want to use fun in quotes,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9555-2
00:58:36.290 --> 00:58:40.679
<v Virin Vedder>but really kind of engaging courses that
give students access to the language but</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9555-3
00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:44.960
<v Virin Vedder>within themes that are really appealing
right for for students that that's kind</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9555-4
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:47.315
<v Virin Vedder>of the objective and goal of those
courses.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9618-0
00:58:52.955 --> 00:58:56.210
<v Qiong>Doctor Federer, are there any plans?
So I said.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9618-1
00:58:56.210 --> 00:59:01.770
<v Qiong>I think you said after 8th grade the kids
get 3 Carnegie credits for high school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9618-2
00:59:01.770 --> 00:59:06.110
<v Qiong>That is at our typical high school.
That is not true for GSMST.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9618-3
00:59:06.110 --> 00:59:11.602
<v Qiong>So for the kids that want to go to GSMST
but they want to finish up to 8th grade</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9618-4
00:59:11.602 --> 00:59:12.755
<v Qiong>when they attend.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9670-0
00:59:12.955 --> 00:59:16.846
<v Qiong>If they want to attend GSMST,
they have to take the languages that are</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9670-1
00:59:16.846 --> 00:59:21.230
<v Qiong>offered at that school all over again.
And they it's when I went to the meeting</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9670-2
00:59:21.230 --> 00:59:23.861
<v Qiong>because I have an eighth grader that's
non DLI.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9670-3
00:59:23.861 --> 00:59:28.300
<v Qiong>They have said that language will not.
The credits that they get for Korean will</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9670-4
00:59:28.300 --> 00:59:32.355
<v Qiong>not be transferred into GSMST.
They have their own language requirements.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9699-0
00:59:32.795 --> 00:59:36.955
<v Qiong>Are there anything in the future to make
it where it does count for those kids</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9699-1
00:59:36.955 --> 00:59:41.326
<v Qiong>that worked hard, you know, the 8-9 years,
but then when they if they decide to go</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9699-2
00:59:41.326 --> 00:59:43.275
<v Qiong>to GSMST, they don't get that credit?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9757-0
00:59:43.875 --> 00:59:47.728
<v Virin Vedder>Great question.
The credit should follow a student</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9757-1
00:59:47.728 --> 00:59:53.999
<v Virin Vedder>regardless of what high school they enter
because it's a GCPS policy and of course</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9757-2
00:59:53.999 --> 00:59:58.986
<v Virin Vedder>GSMST is is a GCPS school.
What you are noting that is correct at</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9757-3
00:59:58.986 --> 01:00:03.595
<v Virin Vedder>the time right now is that GSMST does not
offer Korean as a.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9806-0
01:00:03.595 --> 01:00:06.643
<v Virin Vedder>Language.
So that is maybe where effectively</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9806-1
01:00:06.643 --> 01:00:12.333
<v Virin Vedder>they're saying there isn't a way for them
to continue with that particular language</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9806-2
01:00:12.333 --> 01:00:15.720
<v Virin Vedder>at that school.
Now I know that GSMST probably is</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9806-3
01:00:15.720 --> 01:00:20.732
<v Virin Vedder>continuously kind of reevaluating what
their courses are and what student</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9780-0
01:00:16.475 --> 01:00:16.995
<v Qiong>Yes.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9806-4
01:00:20.732 --> 01:00:23.035
<v Virin Vedder>enrollment into different courses.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9856-0
01:00:23.195 --> 01:00:27.278
<v Virin Vedder>I appreciate you bringing this up because
it's an opportunity for us to have</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9856-1
01:00:27.278 --> 01:00:31.572
<v Virin Vedder>conversation with administration at GSMST
to see if that might be something that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9856-2
01:00:31.572 --> 01:00:34.754
<v Virin Vedder>could be considered.
Certainly knowing that as we have more</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9856-3
01:00:34.754 --> 01:00:37.458
<v Virin Vedder>and more students now coming through DLI
programs,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9856-4
01:00:37.458 --> 01:00:41.275
<v Virin Vedder>there might be more and more students
coming into GSMST who've had the.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9906-0
01:00:41.315 --> 01:00:45.125
<v Virin Vedder>Have the exposure to the language like in
your situation.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9906-1
01:00:45.125 --> 01:00:49.067
<v Virin Vedder>And so that's something that ultimately
the school decides.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9906-2
01:00:49.067 --> 01:00:54.257
<v Virin Vedder>We don't make the decisions of what
programming is offered at non DLI schools.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9906-3
01:00:54.257 --> 01:00:58.921
<v Virin Vedder>So thank you for mentioning this
opportunity and giving us a chance to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9906-4
01:00:58.921 --> 01:01:01.155
<v Virin Vedder>maybe explore it more deeply with.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9912-0
01:01:01.155 --> 01:01:02.915
<v Virin Vedder>The the administration there.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-0
01:01:03.795 --> 01:01:05.955
<v Qiong>No,
they were saying that the kids won't get</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-1
01:01:05.955 --> 01:01:08.403
<v Qiong>the Carnegie credit. They would have to.
It's not.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-2
01:01:08.403 --> 01:01:11.283
<v Qiong>I didn't want them to have the class
because like you said,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-3
01:01:11.283 --> 01:01:13.443
<v Qiong>you can't make that school have the
program,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-4
01:01:13.443 --> 01:01:15.843
<v Qiong>but it's the fact that they won't get the
credit.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-5
01:01:15.843 --> 01:01:18.771
<v Qiong>They would have to start over and either
take a Spanish one,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-6
01:01:18.771 --> 01:01:21.843
<v Qiong>Chinese and I think they had Latin or
French, I can't remember,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/9976-7
01:01:21.843 --> 01:01:23.715
<v Qiong>but they would have to start by taking.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10003-0
01:01:23.795 --> 01:01:27.225
<v Qiong>Those languages from the beginning and
not take that eight,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10003-1
01:01:27.225 --> 01:01:31.399
<v Qiong>the three credits they're supposed to
have to graduate because they have</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10003-2
01:01:31.399 --> 01:01:34.315
<v Qiong>slightly different graduation criteria,
they said.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10054-0
01:01:35.035 --> 01:01:39.322
<v Virin Vedder>Yeah, well, I can say this.
We've had other students from DLI who</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10054-1
01:01:39.322 --> 01:01:42.764
<v Virin Vedder>have gone to GSMST and I have not heard
that before.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10015-0
01:01:40.475 --> 01:01:40.635
<v Qiong>OK.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10054-2
01:01:42.764 --> 01:01:47.700
<v Virin Vedder>So I know our students who have left 8th
grade at other DLI middle schools,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10054-3
01:01:47.700 --> 01:01:52.896
<v Virin Vedder>but who have gone into GSMST have gone
into the the pathway that I've described</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10054-4
01:01:52.896 --> 01:01:54.195
<v Virin Vedder>before with Level 4.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10105-0
01:01:54.275 --> 01:01:57.309
<v Virin Vedder>For Spanish and and those students have
gotten the credit.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10105-1
01:01:57.309 --> 01:02:01.475
<v Virin Vedder>So what you're sharing is is different
information that kind of what I'm used to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10105-2
01:02:01.475 --> 01:02:03.995
<v Virin Vedder>hearing.
So it will be something that I guess we</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10105-3
01:02:03.995 --> 01:02:07.338
<v Virin Vedder>need to kind of dig into deeper.
That's myself and Miss Galindo,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10105-4
01:02:07.338 --> 01:02:10.681
<v Virin Vedder>so we can kind of look at maybe the
messaging that you've heard.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10105-5
01:02:10.681 --> 01:02:11.555
<v Virin Vedder>So thank you for.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10164-0
01:02:11.555 --> 01:02:14.273
<v Qiong>Yeah,
if they said if they have the language,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10110-0
01:02:11.635 --> 01:02:12.995
<v Virin Vedder>You know, put.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10164-1
01:02:14.273 --> 01:02:18.350
<v Qiong>yes, the child can continue.
So for my non DLI student that's taking</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10164-2
01:02:18.350 --> 01:02:21.423
<v Qiong>Spanish now,
he will continue into Spanish three or</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10120-0
01:02:18.635 --> 01:02:19.275
<v Virin Vedder>Mhm.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10164-3
01:02:21.423 --> 01:02:25.914
<v Qiong>four, right? But for the DLI student,
because they don't offer the program,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10130-0
01:02:21.755 --> 01:02:22.715
<v Virin Vedder>Mhm, mhm.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10164-4
01:02:25.914 --> 01:02:29.755
<v Qiong>he would have to retake the language to
get the language credit.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10172-0
01:02:30.035 --> 01:02:32.115
<v Qiong>That's what they said, so I wasn't sure.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10202-0
01:02:30.515 --> 01:02:34.242
<v Virin Vedder>That is, yeah, that is,
that is not my understanding.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10202-1
01:02:34.242 --> 01:02:37.901
<v Virin Vedder>And the reason again being because it's
GCPS policy,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10174-0
01:02:34.475 --> 01:02:34.635
<v Qiong>OK.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10202-2
01:02:37.901 --> 01:02:43.423
<v Virin Vedder>it's actually board policy that is on a
student's transcript regardless of what</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10181-0
01:02:38.795 --> 01:02:39.075
<v Qiong>OK.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10202-3
01:02:43.423 --> 01:02:46.115
<v Virin Vedder>high school they articulate to. Um, so.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10215-0
01:02:46.835 --> 01:02:52.906
<v Virin Vedder>Let me again kind of to unpack that a
little bit further. Thank you. Yeah,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10214-0
01:02:50.675 --> 01:02:51.875
<v Qiong>OK. Please. Thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10215-1
01:02:52.906 --> 01:02:53.715
<v Virin Vedder>thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10224-0
01:02:55.395 --> 01:03:00.155
<v Shumaila Aziz>Hi, sorry, quick question. Um, so.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10275-0
01:03:01.635 --> 01:03:08.041
<v Shumaila Aziz>This relates back to what the parent was
just talking about. I have two daughters.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10275-1
01:03:08.041 --> 01:03:12.054
<v Shumaila Aziz>One is already in high school.
She's in 10th grade,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10275-2
01:03:12.054 --> 01:03:16.221
<v Shumaila Aziz>but she was going to attend GSMST but
decided not to.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10275-3
01:03:16.221 --> 01:03:21.315
<v Shumaila Aziz>She was also told because she was taking
French in middle school.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10314-0
01:03:21.475 --> 01:03:27.020
<v Shumaila Aziz>She was also told the same thing,
that like the credit wouldn't transfer</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10314-1
01:03:27.020 --> 01:03:30.515
<v Shumaila Aziz>over.
And I do understand that GSMST does not</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10314-2
01:03:30.515 --> 01:03:36.288
<v Shumaila Aziz>offer French, I think they offer German,
but they said that the credit just</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10314-3
01:03:36.288 --> 01:03:38.035
<v Shumaila Aziz>wouldn't transfer over.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10335-0
01:03:38.115 --> 01:03:40.689
<v Shumaila Aziz>At all.
So she would just restart from the</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10335-1
01:03:40.689 --> 01:03:43.861
<v Shumaila Aziz>beginning.
So all of the work that she did in middle</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10335-2
01:03:43.861 --> 01:03:46.315
<v Shumaila Aziz>school just kind of didn't really matter.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10387-0
01:03:48.595 --> 01:03:53.665
<v Virin Vedder>Again, thank you for bringing that up.
This is the first time I'm hearing this.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10387-1
01:03:53.665 --> 01:03:57.341
<v Virin Vedder>I've not heard this before.
We've had students, you know,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10387-2
01:03:57.341 --> 01:04:00.700
<v Virin Vedder>obviously going to GSMST now for actually
two years.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10387-3
01:04:00.700 --> 01:04:03.805
<v Virin Vedder>So let me take this opportunity to to say
again,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10387-4
01:04:03.805 --> 01:04:08.115
<v Virin Vedder>thank you for bringing this up and and
give me a chance to kind of.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10390-0
01:04:08.475 --> 01:04:08.715
<v Virin Vedder>Um.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10400-0
01:04:10.115 --> 01:04:15.075
<v Virin Vedder>Do some more research with this and that
particular school. Yeah, thank you.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10450-0
01:04:13.075 --> 01:04:19.012
<v Shumaila Aziz>No worries. Thank you. One more question.
So for my daughter that's in the DLI</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10450-1
01:04:19.012 --> 01:04:22.845
<v Shumaila Aziz>program,
I just wanted to ask with the Apple test,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10450-2
01:04:22.845 --> 01:04:28.857
<v Shumaila Aziz>is there like a certain score that she
needs to receive in her 8th grade or 6th</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10450-3
01:04:28.857 --> 01:04:32.915
<v Shumaila Aziz>grade year that basically is required for
graduation?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10469-0
01:04:33.955 --> 01:04:41.570
<v Virin Vedder>So there is not an actual required score
that is like you must have in order to</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10469-1
01:04:41.570 --> 01:04:46.995
<v Virin Vedder>graduate. However,
what I will try to show here is that.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10523-0
01:04:48.475 --> 01:04:52.007
<v Virin Vedder>Oops, sorry.
On this slide that we breeze through,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10523-1
01:04:52.007 --> 01:04:55.884
<v Virin Vedder>I breeze through,
we kind of show our own benchmarks of</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10523-2
01:04:55.884 --> 01:05:01.494
<v Virin Vedder>where students are expected to sort of be
in their proficiency with languages at</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10523-3
01:05:01.494 --> 01:05:06.895
<v Virin Vedder>the end of each year. So for 8th grade,
our students really should be in this</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10523-4
01:05:06.895 --> 01:05:07.795
<v Virin Vedder>intermediate.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10570-0
01:05:07.875 --> 01:05:11.157
<v Virin Vedder>Mid to intermediate high level of

01:05:11.157 --> 01:05:15.787
<v Virin Vedder>That's kind of the track that we would
expect students to be on to obtain that</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10570-2
01:05:15.787 --> 01:05:19.362
<v Virin Vedder>advanced level as high school students.
So it's a benchmark.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10570-3
01:05:19.362 --> 01:05:22.995
<v Virin Vedder>Of course it's different for every
student in terms of their.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10633-0
01:05:22.995 --> 01:05:26.999
<v Virin Vedder>Trajectory and the ideas for language
growth to be occurring,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10633-1
01:05:26.999 --> 01:05:31.648
<v Virin Vedder>even if it's not at this level,
that's kind of like the targeted level.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10633-2
01:05:31.648 --> 01:05:36.749
<v Virin Vedder>But that is a slide in this deck that
might be of use when you go back to look</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10633-3
01:05:36.749 --> 01:05:41.915
<v Virin Vedder>at the presentation that you could help
kind of see where your kid is and what.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10696-0
01:05:42.515 --> 01:05:45.872
<v Virin Vedder>Getting on that Apple test,
keeping in mind that the Apple is just</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10696-1
01:05:45.872 --> 01:05:49.980
<v Virin Vedder>one snapshot of one day in time when they
went in and took a test that, you know,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10696-2
01:05:49.980 --> 01:05:52.185
<v Virin Vedder>is not something that they do all the
time.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10696-3
01:05:52.185 --> 01:05:56.293
<v Virin Vedder>So there's some test anxiety that might
come out in those scores and they may not</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10696-4
01:05:56.293 --> 01:05:58.998
<v Virin Vedder>be totally reflective of a student's
daily abilities.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10696-5
01:05:58.998 --> 01:06:02.355
<v Virin Vedder>And that's a conversation that you could
have with the teacher to.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10719-0
01:06:02.435 --> 01:06:06.221
<v Virin Vedder>See, hey, are these Apple scores,
do you think reflective of my child's,</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10719-1
01:06:06.221 --> 01:06:08.814
<v Virin Vedder>you know,
daily performance or is there something</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10719-2
01:06:08.814 --> 01:06:12.755
<v Virin Vedder>maybe a little off with these scores that
you could help me process better?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10718-0
01:06:13.595 --> 01:06:15.555

01:06:18.795 --> 01:06:21.475
<v Virin Vedder>And I don't know if I was even sharing
that screen, was I?</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10739-0
01:06:30.395 --> 01:06:33.235
<v Virin Vedder>This was the screen I was trying to
reference.</v>

2b092681-e486-4dba-9a13-cc3b2c000f01/10753-0
01:06:35.395 --> 01:06:38.755
<v Shumaila Aziz>Oh, OK. I see it now. Thank you so much.
No worries.</v>
