Consulting with Coe Elementary School, Seattle

My consulting with Coe Elementary has focused on helping them develop a more coherent curriculum, aligned to standards, for their before/after and in-school Spanish FLEX (Foreign Language Experience) classes. Some of this involves building some structure around the highly interactive iEARN projects the classes are participating in, including curriculum templates to assist the language instructors.
