American Association of Teachers of German
German enrollment in the Lexington County School District One is growing steadily. In the last five years, enrollment increased from 1525 students to 1675. The curriculum is clearly articulated, and outcomes for each level and unit are presented comprehensively. Technology is implemented effectively and meaningfully on a daily basis to enhance or facilitate student tasks, projects, or communication, and the students have many opportunities to participate in extracurricular events, such as the Sustainability Conference in Chicago, sponsored by the Goethe-Institut, or meeting representatives of German companies through a Deutsch macht Spaß grant, sponsored by the AATG. They also take part in study abroad experiences, including in the FLACH countries. Teachers take part in professional development seminars, are well-versed in current pedagogical practices, and hold offices in their AATG chapter.
