Bertina Hsu-Miller, PreK-12 Mandarin-Chinese Program Coordinator at GA, is excited to lead this program and showcase her students in action. During the OWL Visitation Day, participants will spend time in student-centered, proficiency-based classes observing strategies and techniques for a variety of levels. Movement, pairings and groupings, speaking and literacy are cohesively brought together in one class period. A Student Panel also provides context from the students' side.

Bertina is also leading an OWL 1 Foundations Workshop on November 2-3 at Chelten – a church of hope, in Dresher, PA. Participants will learn how to create a kinesthetic, student- centered, proficiency-based classroom. The workshop explores how understanding National Standards and proficiency-based instruction strategies can create an interactive, student-centered classroom.
