SCOLT K-12 WLTOY Information

One nominee per state; candidates must have an endorsement from the state organization. State organizations may submit a candidate to only one regional organization.

Candidates will NOT be required to submit a video or DVD to SCOLT, but upon selection by SCOLT, the candidate will need to submit a video teaching segment to ACTFL. 

State nominees must submit a portfolio no later than January 10, 2010. Candidates must submit 3 copies of the portfolio. Do not use plastic covers for the pages or place in a notebook; use a binder clip on the copies.

Student samples: submit written work only. Please have appropriate releases for student work.

State nominees will be interviewed at the 2010 SCOLT conference in Winston-Salem (Thursday, April 15th). In the course of the interview, candidates will also role play a press conference speaking on behalf of the foreign language profession. The 2010 SCOLT World Languages Teacher of the Year winner will be named during the conference.

The SCOLT regional winner will go on to represent SCOLT at the November 2010 ACTFL conference. ACTFL will help with costs.
