April 2021 Board of Education: world language frameworks

 intro docs are here

vote today proposed is to adopt revised world language standards
product of nearly two years of work
plan then is to develop supporting materials
haven't been revised since 1999
will then have brought all frameworks EXCEPT THE HEALTH FRAMEWORKS into the 21st century (emphasis mine)
comments on social emotional, communication standards particularly talked about
further clarification on communication standards: "high levels of proficiency" mirroring seal of biliteracy
clear that is the baseline programmatic outcome to be developed
asked that comprehension be included

Peyser: positioning of seal of biliteracy as anchoring standards
MassCore has two years of high school required
clarifying that it isn't a failure on the part of a student or a school system if they don't get there
response that it can be done in supporting documentation

Moriarty complains that Holyoke stopped teaching Latin in 2019
is this not supporting this? what about seal of biliteracy
and yes you can get a seal of biliteracy in classical languages 

intent was for "all human languages to be equally lifted up in this"

Frameworks pass
