MAFLA's Strategic Plan
Your MAFLA board has been hard at work planning for what our organization could provide you in the upcoming years.
Below, you'll see our strategic plan. It's broken up into 4 main cornerstones:
-
Belong- Teachers as Lifelong Members
-
Grow- Language Teachers as Continuous Learners
-
Lead- Language Teachers as Leaders
-
Advocate- Language Teachers as Informed Advocates
In 2026 we will be focusing on:
- Offering multi-year membership options to MAFLA
- Curating and maintaining materials for World Language majors and graduate students seeking to enter the profession
- Curating and maintaining a Members-Only section of our website containing resources, teaching tips, short videos and other materials/opportunities (beginning stages)
- Implementing free webinars for members on a variety of topics on a regular basis
- Offering short-term opportunities for non-board members to assist with committee responsibilities (beginning stages)
- Clarifying and expanding the advocacy intern position
- Communicating to members and media MAFLA support of advocacy efforts of other regional and national organizations (e.g. JNCL-NCLIS)
