**Update August 2015**
After four years of scoring assessments using this rubric, I overhauled it to attempt to highlight the areas I loved most and fix the ones that really bothered me (and others). Please see the new post for the new rubric I am using, updating, and working to improve. I’d love your feedback on the new one.
Original post
After making my first new assessment description, I’ve finished the performance assessment rubric. It took a long time to make but hopefully it will be adopted for every assessment from 6-12 grades at my school. Again, I stole most of it from the great people at @JCPSWorldLang (with a special shout-out to @tmsaue1 for all the sharing they do over there). They got it all on one page, but I wasn’t willing to put my text that small, or my document-creating abilities just aren’t up to par. 😉 Thoughts?
I can send you the original word file to adapt for your needs if you like.
@THOMAS SAUER I just want to thank you for all that you have done. Your overviews are wonderful and make total sense.
I agree, Loly!
To Thomas Sauer,
I would love to accept your offer to send the original word file to adapt for my needs.
My school e-mail is:
mbarrene@columbia.k12.mo.us
Thank you so very much.
Paz, Mariana
Would love a copy of the word file as we are currently working on this!
Gracias de antemano.

I would like a copy of the word document too, please. My email is Mandy.gillin@redclay.k12.de.us
Thank you!
@Thomas Sauer….I would love the original too, if you’re willing to share.
If you are still willing to share, I would love to get the word file so we could adapt it to our school as well. Thank you so much!

Ha! Probably should've occurred to me. I think I got everything I wanted but it would be helpful to have it to get the proficiency levels graphic at the top- I just couldn't get the arrows evenly distributed.

Is it too late to request an original as well? Anybody has more advanced one? What is the expected proficiency for native speakers?
Gracias…….
Julia
Julia, I sent you the file. I hope you can use it.
I got a second opinion and we think native speakers typically attain Superior level and educated, articulate native speakers attain the new ACTFL level, Distinguished.
We are also working on moving our curriculum to a more proficiency-based system. I would love a copy of the rubric if you are still sharing. Thank you! willer_beth@dublinschools.net
Wonderful! I would really appreciate an original rubric that can be edited if you are still sharing too! Thank you! ksaylor@necedahschools.org
I would also love a copy of the original word file if that is still possible. Thank you! tsalinas@granvilleschools.org
I would also like to have copy ….plz send me rashwin2004@yahoo.co.in
A mí también me gustaría una copia si sea posible. Mil gracias.
May I also have a copy please! I love your site! I love how you are thinking about teaching language! You are inspiring me to think differently this year! snorquist@bcacademy.org
Thank you for posting this – @THOMAS SAUER your website with all of your resources has been an amazing wealth of information and help as we transition into using IPAs in our program! Now I am looking to create some rubrics (I have the FLENJ ones) but am looking for some different ones to adapt to our program. If you could please share the Word copy of @THOMAS SAUER rubrics I would be so grateful!
Muchissimas gracias!

¡Hola!
I’m wondering if you are sharing your new and improved rubric. I’d love a copy of it if you are! I can’t thank you enough for making me always think about what I am teaching, how I’m teaching it, and why I’m teaching it. You have made my students’ lives better and they don’t even know it! ¡Gracias!
¡Hola!
I had the chance to attend one of your sessions at ACTFL 2014….but got lost (literally lost) along the riverwalk back to the center. I’m still absolutely mad at myself.
I would love to have a copy of your revised rubric for my language dept. We’ve been trying to transition from “grades! grades! grades!” to more standards based learning…but district rules are district rules. Your first rubric saved me so much paper, headache and hassle last year.
thanks for being an inspiration!
[…] you can read here about all the things that frustrated me about that snazzy 2011 rubric that I used to use (and that got downloaded from this site a lot). Some of them probably […]
I would also love a copy of this rubric. Thank you so much for this! It is finally sinking in for me :o) lfrese@ardsleyschools.org
This is amazing. We’re moving to SBG in my district and I’m completely lost. I would love it if you send me a word doc of it.
