For more information about how I assess their interactive-ish notebooks, check this out. Truth be told, there aren't too many assignments in this category outside of the interactive-ish notebook and our weekly daily engagement grade. Any (rare) homework assigned and anything that is not an assessment goes here too. "Work" also goes in this category, which in Spanish mostly means whatever they do in their Interactive-ish notebook. They are, however, expected to respond to questions, respond chorally, and be engaged. Students can get 100% in this category and never produce an original, spoken sentence. It is not perfect, but it is a good compromise, and student grades now tend to reflect their language abilities at their level.įirst, it's important to know that we define participation as engagement- NOT as speaking. This is as close to proficiency based grades as we can get within the system that we have at our school. We all have different weights depending on the level and grade for each category, but we pretty much agree on what the categories mean. All teachers have a citizenship category, but we have flexibility to define it.Īfter working with a great administrator for a couple of years, our language department moved to the following: Assessments: reading and listening, Assessments: Speaking and writing, Language Participation, and citizenship. ![]() ![]() Most teachers at my middle school use categories like Tests, assignments, projects, and citizenship. So, here's my response.įirst, I have some flexibility in how I set up my gradebook. I have seen a lot of questions about setting up a gradebook lately on social media.
