Experiential Module

The impetus for this project came from my work with the Local LCTL Assessments (LoLA) Project. In working with teachers on using the project's self-assessment template, we found that many language teachers, both novice and experienced, lacked formal training on writing specific and measurable Can-Do Statements.  This prevented them from using their statements to create self-assessments which would facilitate measurement of their students' proficiency growth.

This project provides training materials (see list below) for language educators to help them learn how to write locally-relevant and measurable Can-Do Statements and then to use those statements to create self-assessments for their language courses. All materials are housed on a publicly accessible website, and the materials are designed so that teachers can use them for self-directed learning as well as for department-organized professional development. 

Additionally, the project website serves as a resource for the Local LCTL Assessments (LoLA) Project, since these materials are language agnostic resources for teachers who are developing self-assessments using Can-Do Statements.
