The Question of the Day, or maybe more like the Question of the Decade or even of the Century, is put in succinct fashion below by Emeka:
Hi Ben,
Just share with your that our district (Kalamazoo Public Schools in Kalamazoo, Michigan) just bought the whole world languages department The Big CI Book. We got them yesterday. I’m glad the culture in our district is slowing shifting. However, we still are tied to common final assessments, which are largely based on the textbook and add a lot of stress when teachers are trying to use CI in the classroom. Still a lot to do and a long road ahead. I’m trying to envision what might be the best common assessment. Do you have any suggestions for what an “ideal” common assessment might have, especially if I would like to do more NT teaching?
Thanks for all you do!
