ACTR is the first  language association to complete the task of updating the standards. The revision adds  materials for post-secondary learning and presents new sets of performance indicators linked to proficiency levels, as well as new learning scenarios.  
Jane Shuffelton served as Chair of the task force, with co-authors Tom Garza and Peter Merrill.


Statement from ACTR on Racism and Equity

The Board of Directors of the American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) condemns the murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Mike Ramos, and so many others. We support the Black, Latinx, Native and Indigenous communities in their responses across the country, as well as those acting in solidarity through peaceful protest. As scholars and teachers of the languages and cultures of a region in which public discourse and dissent is often suppressed, it is of paramount importance that we not remain silent during this time of social discord. ACTR has a stated policy of commitment to promoting inclusivity and diversity in its membership and programs and, thus, decries the injustice of institutionalized racism in any form.
