Just FYI, this is the link to our new (December 2009) Colorado State Standards. http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdeassess/UAS/AdoptedAcademicStandards/World_Languages_Standards_Adopted_12.11.09.pdf

If anyone who reads this blog is currently working to modify existing outdated standards at the state level to properly align with ACTFL, please feel free to refer to this link in your work.

That is Carla’s idea and she is the one who can actually find stuff here. It’s amazing.
Hmm. When I click on that link I get an error message saying that i need a DPS name and password. Is there another link that the rest of us can use?
Susie maybe this:
http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdeassess/UAS/AdoptedAcademicStandards/World_Languages_Standards_Adopted_12.11.09.pdf
and then search “world language standards”.
I also asked Diana for a good link – am waiting for that but the above might work.
