This series of posts breaks down the ginormous and complex topic of Assessment into manageable chunks.
- Considerations for setting-up your grade book and selecting assessments
- Assessments for Novice learners
- Timed writes as a way to measure growth
- Pre-assessing and setting goals with emerging Intermediates
- Why I am still (mostly) in love with Integrated Performance Assessments
- The benefits of more frequent low-stakes assessments
Note: I strive to strike a balance between district/school/department requirements, principles of second language acquisition, and ACTFL guidelines. This series reflects where I am at the time with these sometimes conflicting forces. I hope it helps a few teachers reflect and make informed choices. It certainly helped me think deeper about my choices.
