German Programs in the US: Examining the Present and Envisioning the Future

October 12, 7 - 8:30 PM EDT 

Is studying German still relevant? Can we revitalize German programs in the US - or are we fighting a loosing battle?

Please join us and take advantage of this unique opportunity to actively engage with two of the most vocal advocates for German language education in the US: Patrick Wallace, former Supervisor with the Georgia Department of Education, and Ryan Wertz, Education Program Specialist for World Languages in Ohio’s Office of Learning and Instructional Strategies!

They will share their views on questions like:

• How can we resolve the chicken and egg problem:
  Few qualified teachers -> Programs closing -> Fewer students enrolling in certification programs?

• How can local communities advocate for and support German programs?

• How can we forge partnerships with supporting organizations to boost enrollment?
