Fall 2024 meeting:
ASU, Tempe, Sept. 21
Workshop offered by Doug Philipps, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Minutes: The AZ chapter of the AATG had its Fall meeting at the ASU campus, Tempe, on Sept. 21, 2024. After our breakfast and business meeting, we explored what the “Stimmungsbild” in our German language classes is like at all teaching levels. The group consisted of teachers from K-16 (with a total of 13 attending from Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson). Subsequently, we turned to our central topic. Doug Philipp from Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs gave a workshop on the Sprachbad, the immersion language program in Colorado, discussing the various activities, requirements, expectations, outcomes, and programs. The meeting also offered a hybrid version, with 2 teachers attending online. After our lunch, we continued with practical exercises. The meeting completed at 1:30 p.m.

Spring 2024 meeting: International School of Tucson, Tucson, April 27, 2024
At our Spring 2024 meeting, we enjoyed a workshop by Ute Hoefel, German Institute for the Southwest, Houston, TX: KI im Deutschunterricht. This was particularly useful because various High School teachers have already begun working with KI to facilitate their teaching. We had a very good mix of German instructors from K-16.
