Integrated+Performance+Assessment


 * __[|Integrated Performance Assessment]__** is the new buzz word for World Language Assessment. It is a way to assess proficiency levels of a student using three different modes around an over-arching concept. __**Interpretive Mode**__ where they read an authentic text, listen to a song or watch a video, then they must show what they have understood by recognizing cognates, gleaning information from context clues and finally sharing what they understood or can take away from the text. The second mode is the __**Interpersonal Mode **__. This is where students have to speak spontaneously about a topic usually where there is some sort of information gap, where person A knows something that person B does not and vice-versa. The third and final mode is the **__Presentation Mode__** this is where the student will summarize their understandings in some sort of presentation.

We will begin this process at the end of Trimester 1. In our 7th grade Novice High Spanish we will be looking at Dia de los Muertos vs Halloween and how the traditions and celebrations are similar and different. Please come visit our progress as we upload videos and examples of student work.
