摘要：After nearly two years of work, the new national Standards for Latin Teacher Preparation were approved by the Board of Directors of the American Philological Association and the Executive Committee of the American Classical League and were unveiled March 1, 2010.
The ACL/APA Task Force for Latin Teacher Training and Certification, a committee of both Latin teachers and college faculty involved in teacher training, developed the new Standards so that they would be aligned with the Standards for Classical Language Learning and with ACTFL Program Standards for the Preparation of Foreign Language Teachers and the INTASC Model Standards for Licensing Beginning Foreign Latin Teachers. The Task Force also revised the document in light of comments from dozens of Latin teachers and teacher trainers during a five month comment period last spring and summer.
The new Standards will undoubtedly promote further discussion about what makes a good Latin teacher. A plenary session to discuss Standards took place at the ACL Summer Institute in June, and there will be a panel discussion at the APA next January in San Antonio (Sunday, January 9, 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.). In addition, in this issue of Teaching Classical Languages, the editor has invited seven teachers and university professors from different backgrounds and with different teaching experience to offer their perspectives on the Standards. Those offering perspectives include two members of the Task Force (Ronnie Ancona and Lee Pearcy), a past President of the ACL (Ken Kitchell), a former World Languages District Supervisor (Cathy Daugherty), new Latin teachers (Cory Holec and Erik Collins), and a veteran Latin teacher (Bob Patrick).
The Standards for Latin Teacher Preparation may be found online .
You are invited to participate in the discussion by posting your responses to the perspectives via the commentary boxes found at the bottom of each of the following essays.
