PHILOSOPHY OF THE CHAGRIN FALLS EXEMPTED VILLAGE SCHOOLS
Education is a lifelong process. We, the Chagrin Falls Board of Education, as the elected body being legally responsible for the public school portion
of that education, subscribe to the following philosophy:
We recognize an obligation to organize and administer the educational program in a manner compatible with a democratic society. We recognize
that the unique responsibility of the schools is to pass along a fund of knowledge; and in order to meet this goal, to provide enriched conditions which
foster academic excellence and individual growth. We recognize that all persons in our school community have rights and responsibilities that are
inherent within that society. We believe that our school system should educate toward responsibility and responsiveness.
We recognize that students differ in their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth and in the way they develop these aspects. We believe
that the school must play a primary role in the students' education and that educational goals grow out of the needs of individuals.
We believe that students bring together different abilities, talents, and backgrounds. Intellectual growth will flourish in an environment of trust,
respect, and teamwork. The school should strive to heighten the students' appreciation of the cultural and individual diversity within the human
family.
We believe that students need the freedom to question and should be encouraged to use independent, reflective, and critical thinking. They should
have the opportunity to exercise independent judgment by making decisions about their education in addition to following standardized requirements.
We believe that students should understand their relationship to the community, the country, and to the world. Our schools should provide
meaningful opportunities for students to become familiar with, and react to, a segment of society outside of their own community.
We believe the education received in Chagrin Falls should fit the students' needs for supporting themselves in the future by preparing for further
academic study and vocational opportunities.
We believe objectives and procedures of all educational programs are dynamic rather than static and must change to meet new conditions in an everchanging world. We should consider changes in the educational program because of their demonstrated worth.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE COURSE OF STUDY
The Foreign Language Course of Study is divided into grade bands and secondary levels. Each of these is organized into Benchmarks, Indicators,
Reference Code, and Lesson Ideas.
The Benchmarks column is the big idea or major concept that students should understand. The Indicators delineate the understandings students
need to build the major concept (Benchmark). Many of the Benchmarks and Indicators in the Foreign Language Course of Study come from the
Ohio Academic Content Standards for Foreign Language.
The Benchmarks and Indicators that come from the Ohio Standards are noted with symbols in the Reference (REF.) column. The first line of upper
case letters refers to the content standard. On the next line, the upper case letter represents the Benchmark as it is organized in the state document.
The first number on the next line is the grade level at which the indicator appears in the Ohio document. The second number is the state Indicator, as
it is organized within the state Benchmark.
The Lesson Ideas column provides information related to its adjoining Indicator. The information generally serves one of these purposes: provide
lesson ideas and indicator reconceptualization, provide relevant instructional resources, and / or identify 21st century skills that can be infused into the
lesson. The members of the Foreign Language Curriculum Committee developed the contents of the Clarification column.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE COURSE OF STUDY
Students graduating from the Chagrin Falls School District will be prepared to live in a global community by being proficient in at least one world
language in addition to English, which is essential to a 21st century education. The Chagrin Falls School District is committed to empowering
students by offering a standards-based world language curriculum beginning in kindergarten and continuing through the twelfth grade to provide
students with the opportunity to achieve a high-level of proficiency.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION EVALUATION
Assessment is an integral part of the instruction and curricular process within the Foreign Language Course of Study. The assessments are designed
to help address the individual needs of the students and measure student learning in relation to the Foreign Language benchmarks and indicators.
Assessments can take many forms-both formal and informal. These assessments are used on a daily basis with student learning to enhance the day-today instruction, formulate student grades and provide feedback for the students. These assessments are also used to conduct program evaluation and
to develop and revise the program objectives.

PROGRAM EVALUATION
In addition to pupil evaluation, the other important component of evaluation is program evaluation. No program or course of study is ideal for all
time. Current research in the field and the changing needs of students necessitate that the programs be evaluated on a regular basis.
