Leading the Way to Proficiency in Oklahoma

Welcome, Oklahoma educators!
Wayside takes proficiency-based world language education seriously—so much so that we pioneered proficiency-based textbooks and digital solutions. Take a look at how we write our textbooks, and then scroll through this page to learn more about our products.
-
Wayside's educator authors combined leading research in neuroscience and educational pedagogy with decades of classroom-tested strategies, so teachers do not have to start from scratch in order to foster intercultural competency and align with biliteracy standards.
-
Designing Backwards
With the goal of learner proficiency, Wayside creates programs using backward design. Starting with defining what we want students to be able to do and know, we then develop assessments in all three modes of communication. Finally, we create lessons and activities to help learners to gain the knowledge. -
Cultivating Interculturality
With Wayside, learners have a uniquely intercultural classroom experience. Our programs help make connections to local, national, and international cultures, encourage exploration of individual and community identities, and widen understanding of other cultures as different vs. foreign. -
Differentiating Instruction
Wayside embraces a differentiated instructional approach to meet the needs of all learners. From differentiated activities in Learning Site's® Instructional Strategies Toolkit to formative assessments in each unit, educators can adjust the learning experience to suit the needs of individuals.
Wayside's Commitment to Accessibility
We believe all educators and learners should be able to access and use our textbook and digital offerings, Learning Site® application, and company website.
