2 thoughts on “Levels of Acquisition”
Thanks Julie! Any tips/ideas on how to “grade” these levels of proficiency?
I don’t think Julie is part of this group. Since I sent the levels to Ben, I’ll answer. You have to use a “sliding scale” when doing assessment. Obviously you are going to give beginning students (first weeks of level 1) good marks for understanding the gist of the story. Advanced might be re-telling the entire story in English with ease. By level AP it will take a student performing at level 9-10 to get an Advanced designation. Levels 7-8 are Proficient. Level 6 is Basic. Levels 4-5 are Below Basic. Levels 1-2 are Far Below Basic. Level 3 could go either way. This should be used for the summative assessment after students have been exposed to the “story” for a length of time.
Two key uses are
1. Remind the “smart ass” kids of how far they have to go
2. Keep administrators happy by having an “objective” rubric
