What We Do
The Foundation’s purpose is to provide teachers with the highest quality French language materials that engage students, teach language skills and promote the study of francophone cultures. Our contributing educators and authors integrate student-centered classroom activities (emotional scaffolding), techniques for multiple learning styles, assessment strategies and technology into each lesson at every grade level. The language materials support state and national foreign language standards and serve to reinforce the 5C’s: community, connection, communication, culture, and comparisons.

- how music can contribute to foreign language acquisition;
- introduce easy to use, classroom tested methodologies and complete lesson plans;

- adapt workshops and methodologies for teachers of other foreign languages
Develop Presentations for students, assemblies and school visits that:
- introduce the biography of Carole Fredericks
- explore Carole Fredericks' personal traits and the strategies she employed to become so successful.
