PREPARING FOR THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR (2)
In the last blog, you developed a general “CAN-DO” student checklist of statements to rate to what extent students acquired certain aspects of Spanish based on their proficiency level. Let’s reverse that and see how students self-assess themselves. This will provide you with some feedback. For example, if several students marked “NO” for an item, this may indicate that this item needs some adjustment in the delivery of instruction.
Think about the Essential Knowledge and Skills and specific performance/proficiency objectives for the grade level. For example, the new EKS designate Level 1 proficiency as ranging from Novice Mid to Novice High. For Level 2, proficiency ranges from Novice High to Intermediate Low. Below are some examples.
Respond (0) No (1) Fair (2) Good (3) Very Good
