Since the publication of the first edition in 2007, concepts of planning, instruction, and grading have evolved, proficiency-based NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements have been created, and, of course, the available tools and resources have changed a great deal. When this text was originally published, overhead projectors were common in classrooms, students rarely had their own cell phones, and social media were still relatively new. Today the instructional environment is different, as are the tools and resources available to teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmid all the ways in which teaching has changed, much remains the same. Learners still need to be meaningfully engaged with the language. Educators must plan opportunities for learning that are relevant for learners. Students must believe that teachers care for them as individuals. Language and intercultural skills are increasingly important in our global society. Teaching is difficult, and educators new to the profession need support and guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew teachers must learn a great deal, regardless of the amount of preparation they need before entering the classroom. This second edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Keys to the Classroom\u003c\/em\u003e captures the changes and additions that meet the needs of language educators in today's rapidly changing environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Leslie Baldwin is the World Languages Director for the Winston-Salem\/Forsyth County Schools in Winston-Salem, NC and the Executive Director of the Southern Conference on Language Teaching.
