I developed this assessment as a tool for gathering data as to student's proficiency levels during their second and third years of language study in Spanish. This assessment is directly aligned with the ACTFL progress indicators for Novice-High fluency. This assessment addresses all skill areas; Interpersonal Speaking, Presentational Speaking, Presentational Writing, Interpretive Listening, and Interpretive Reading. This assessment is now editable so that you can customize it to meet the needs of your students but still save time with the framework I have created to save you time! This assessment can be used in a variety of ways: 1. As an exit test or final exam for Spanish 2 2. As an entrance exam for Spanish 3 3. As a placement exam for students newly entering your language program from private or out of state institutions 4. As a progress indicator given to students at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year to demonstrate growth 5. As smaller, individual assessments given throughout the course of the school year This Product Includes: - Educator's Guide & Instructions for Test Administration - Resource Links to ACTFL rubrics and progress indicators - 9 Activities to assess Interpersonal & Presentational Speaking / Writing - 4 Activities to assess Interpretive Listening - 5 Activities to assess Interpretive Reading - Answer Keys for Listening and Reading Activities - Answer Keys for Writing activities unless answers may vary If you like this product, click below to check out similar products also available in this store: Spanish Proficiency/Plecement Test: Novice-Mid Foreign Language Learning Goal Posters - Level 3 Spanish Class Starters: 50 Novice-High Warm Ups Be the first to know about my new discounts, freebies and product launches: • Look for the green star near the top of any page within my store and click it to become a follower.

Imagine your students' reaction when, thinking it's just another day, they file in from the bus and encounter once of these colorful and festive entraces. They would be floored and left to wonder, if the hallway looks this cool, what fun things are we going to do in class today?! The best part about these displays is that, while they all pack a visual punch, not one of them is so detailed or complicated that it wouldn't be feasible to create your own. Bulletin board paper. Crepe paper streamers. Perhaps some craft paint or bulletin board letters... [Of course, if you work together with the other teachers on your floor, the display should be a snap!] {via Sara Anne Culberson} {via Hope of 2nd Grade Shenanigans} {via Jessica of Welcome to Room 36!} {via Melissa of Joyful Learning in KC} We bet you can't wait to get started planning your own 100th day entrance! Happy creating!

One teaching "tip" I have that I love to share is how essential formative assessment is to effective teaching. Research states clearly that knowing WHAT your students know and teaching to address these needs has a HUGE impact on student learning. Pair this up with quality feedback and you are golden! Many people use exit slips at the end of class to see what students have learned. I do this as well--but not as often as I use ENTRANCE slips! Entrance slips you ask? Absolutely! Consider the number of students you have had in your life who got 100% on every spelling test but spell the same words incorrectly at every other time. The same can be true with exit slips. LOTS of students can do well with a topic immediately after being taught. For me, it is more valuable to see who can still do it the next day or the day after that! That's why I started using quick learning checks the next day--I wanted to see where my class stood before I started to teach. Here's where I want to be clear. The entrance slips I am talking about are not “busy work" for students to do while I take attendance. They aren't necessarily graded (although they can be). They can be used to check understanding on academic content OR to get a read on student attitudes and comfort levels and I use them in a couple of ways: •to see if there are any students with major misconceptions •to see if the entire class is missing understanding and I need to reteach •to sort my students into groups for instruction What I do is hand the students an entrance slip as they come in...they know to just get out a book when they finish. I quickly scan them as I collect them and sort them into piles--usually the "Totally Get It", the "Not Quite Sure" and the "Yikes" piles. This helps me know exactly who I need to meet with when we have math workshop time. How do I keep track of it? I use this sheet...I've whited out names on these from my "grade book" from this past year. I often create a bunch of these entrance slips to use as I plan any given unit--but I also create them "on the fly" when I feel the need to take the temperature of the class. I keep a bunch of easy to use slips that work for any subject copied and ready to use. Before I get started with instruction, I often give students one of these, collect them as they finish, and give them a quick glance. I might sort them into piles. I might highlight things I notice or things I want to address with the class. I love that I always have a good sense for where my students are and what I need to do as a teacher to better reach them. I sometimes change my plan right on the spot based on what I see! I got tired of creating the same slips over and over so I did finally create a resource that has a TON of easy to use options if you--like me--always want something handy and ready to use. The entrance slips I have provided come two per page and are low-ink and ready to copy. Each entrance slip comes with a “suggestion” page where the slip is highlighted with a blue box with ideas for how that slip might be used . . . like this! I have also divided the entrance slips into two categories—those used to measure academic performance AND those used for students to “self-assess”—whether it be their own understanding, their effort, or their participation. I really believe it is essential for students to take an active role in their learning—and that they need to be reflective and take ownership of their “job” in the classroom! I also really want to get students thinking about that self-assessment piece so I’ve included a color and black and white version of an anchor chart I use in my classroom. Use it as is or create an anchor chart of your own! Finally, to help you start “organizing” the information you get from these entrance slips, I created a simple sheet that you saw in the pictures above that you can use to record your findings. If you (like me) are trying to do a better job of tracking student progress, grouping, and reteaching—this might help you out! Follow me on...
