Paul Seevinck asks:
Hi Ben,
Do you happen to access to any common formative assessments (writing, speaking, listening or reading) that are good for a level 1 or two Spanish class? I was just handed the assessment that my district will be using (guiding instruction for all teachers) next year and they are bad.
The dual immersion district leads are in charge in my district and they have said that we must have writing and speaking assessments 4 times each year with a final and a pre-assessment.
I have tried to push input, but was told that students must produce.
I brought up glaring flaws in what is expected on these assessment, but I was told that they are what we are using unless there is something better. I know there has to be some better, but I also know that I am only one person and don’t have time have time to write write these without some inspiration. Looking for help to make sure that our whole district is not lead astray by these terrible assessments next year.
Thanks,
Paul
