Nominate one (or more) of your students to participate in the High School Visitors’ Program: Colleagues of the Future at this year’s WAFLT Conference!

There is a strong need for language teachers at all levels and the purpose of the WAFLT High School Visitors’ program is to give high school students a realistic, insightful, and entertaining view of the teaching of world languages. We encourage you to promote this unique, interactive opportunity to your junior and senior language students. There are probably students in your classes who would make great teachers, but who have never considered that possibility. Perhaps you have a student that has already decided to pursue a career as a language teacher or maybe you have students who are thinking of becoming educators, but haven’t considered becoming a teacher of languages. These are all examples of the students we hope you will help us find! 

WAFLT invites student participants to attend this workshop from 8:00am to 12:30pm on Friday, November 6th. If a student is selected to participate in the program, a non-refundable $10.00 registration fee will be charged. Please do not send any money with the student application- the fee will be collected at the workshop. Confirmation materials will arrive via email prior to the conference.

Please note:

• The High School Visitors’ Program will span the entire morning and will include the New Teacher / New Attendee Session (8-8:25), Session 1 (8:30-9:30), the Keynote Speaker (10-11:00), a scavenger hunt in the Exhibit Hall (11-11:30), and Session 2 (11:30-12:30).
• The teacher nominating the student must be registered and in attendance at the conference while the student is attending the workshop. However, teachers will not participate in the High School Visitors’ Program.
• The teacher nominating the student must obtain parent consent on this waiver. 
• Students who do not pay the $10.00 registration fee upon arrival to the workshop will not be permitted to attend the High School Visitors’ Program.
• Students who arrive at the conference without pre-registering will not be admitted.
• Registered students are also eligible to attend any of the afternoon one-hour sessions offered on Friday, at no charge, provided they are accompanied by their nominating teacher.
