Got the rubric!

 **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?

  2. 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.

  13. Could I also have an editable copy of this rubric? This is a great rubric and I must say an awesome blog to follow!

  16. I would love to have the word file doc also if that is possible. I have been using the JCPS copy and would love to make it mine. Gracias! By the way Sara, thank you so much for this site! It has been such a great help to me!

  19. This is great, I was wondering if you could also send me the word document? I would like to adapt it a little to our program. Amazing, thanks

  34. Is it too late to request an original as well? Anybody has more advanced one? What is the expected proficiency for native speakers?

    Gracias…….

    1. 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.

  41. 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!

  46. Hi Sara-Elizabeth. Thomas was gracious enough to share an editable doc. May I have a copy of yours as well? I appreciate all that you do for the profession! Hope that you have have a great start to this academic year.

  50. @Lee, Aixa, Ayesha, and Emily – I’m emailing you about this rubric and the new one I’ve developed. Thanks for your interest and I’d love to have you help me make the new rubric as good as it can be!

  51. This is fantastic! I am a new teacher and will be teaching Spanish 1, 1H, 3, 3H, and 4. I would really appreciate it if you could email me the editable version. I am looking to streamline as much as possible as well as share a different perspective with my colleagues! All of your posts have been incredibly helpful!

    Gracias!

  52. ¡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!

  53. ¡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!

  56. 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.
