STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND RECOGNITION

CT COLT seeks to improve language proficiency and knowledge of other cultures among Connecticut students through a variety of activities including: 

CT COLT recognizes and rewards the excellence and achievement of deserving students at all levels of instruction across the state by offering the CT COLT STUDENT AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE. This award is granted to elementary, middle school and high school students who earn at least a 90/A- average or equivalent, and are selected by their teachers.


PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS

CT COLT holds major events each school year: the Annual Fall Conference in October, and the Technology Conference (every other year). Relevant issues of content and methodology of teaching language and culture are presented in workshops by colleagues, guest speakers and invited experts in the field. At the Fall Conference, exhibitors share their materials and textbook series in the Exhibit Hall as well as during special exhibitor sessions. CT COLT is an official state CEU provider (#410) and uses a well-developed system to offer CEUs and pre-register as many as 800 participants at our Fall Conference. CT COLT offers reduced registration to practice teachers and to beginning teachers (year 1 only) at the Fall Conference. In addition to the conferences, the Professional Development and School-College committees organize workshops and language immersion activities for teachers.
