Dr. Meredith Clark (Region 10 Education Service Center)
Having overcome many hurdles related to instruction and technology during the pandemic, many language educators are now wondering what to assess in language class and how to assess it. As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to answer both of these questions as they relate to proficiency goals and the backward design framework. After a brief presentation in which sample assessments will be shown, teachers will have time to share resources, provide insights on technology platforms and ask questions.
