Open CL-150 Cohorts – Week 11 Posted by meaghan on May 26, 2020 in For Instructors, For Learners, For Program Managers
Since March, we’ve been openly sharing our weekly CL-150 Cohort lessons to help US Government language programs meet the challenges presented by COVID-19.
This will be the last week of Open CL-150 Cohorts. If you’ve been finding value in these weekly lessons, we encourage you to join us at one of the CL-150 Open Houses this week to learn more about related capabilities for supporting US Government language learners, instructors, and program managers.
