Open CL-150 Cohorts – Week 8 Posted by meaghan on May 5, 2020 in For Instructors, For Learners, For Program Managers
In March, we announced Open CL-150 Cohorts to help US Government language programs meet challenges presented by COVID-19.
For the next several weeks, we will release all 36 of that week’s Cohort lessons (plus special “COVID-19 News” lessons) for use by any learner, sustainer, or instructor in the US Government language community. You can find prior weeks’ lessons here:
Find your Cohort Lesson from the list below or via the downloadable PDF*.
*Note: Those of you already using the CL-150 Platform for yourself or your program should ignore this. You should access lessons via your CL-150 account to ensure your learning time is tracked and reported.
