PRESENTED BY KRISTIN ARCHAMBAULT, NNELL RI REPRESENTATIVE
FREE WEBINAR OFFERED BY RIFLA (RHODE ISLAND)
What does a B in Italian or French at the end of a marking period really represent? If the grade is based on traditional grading practices, the answer is not always clear. While most language teachers want to accurately reflect student progress in developing language proficiency, traditional practices may unintentionally do just the opposite. During this webinar, attendees will examine traditional grading practices that may cause inequity. The presenter will then offer alternatives based on ACTFL Proficiency Standards that more accurately represent what a student can really do with the language. Attendees will leave with some quick fixes that can be implemented right away as well as suggestions for further study. This webinar is offered by RIFLA via Zoom on March 27, 2023 at 7pm.
