Retreat at Port Ludlow

We had an excellent retreat at Port Ludlow, and made
a lot of progress on:
1. further defining the partnership with UW
2. walking through the Starting Points Partnership survey
3. connecting foreign/world language standards from a variety sources

Next decisions:
* Which content areas to do in immersion Spanish K-1?
* Which content areas to do for FLES classes grades 2-5?
* How to integrate the 5 C's (National Foreign Language Standards)?
* How to connect performance standards (functions) with content topics?

Announcement from Karen: She has funding for a full-time certificated
community liaison/school-to-careers position.  To be advertised in
the next two weeks.  Be thinking about who would be good for this
position.  Let Karen know names and contact information.
