Specific task Sample Benchmark WL.IS.Y1.3.1 (HCPSIII p.39) Use oral language skills to make simple presentations Sample Performance Assessment (SPA): The student: Gives oral presentations (e.g., information, poetry, songs), arranging ideas to focus on a single topic using both memorized and original sentences, may use props, visual aids, or technological presentation tools. Task/Activity: The student: Gives a 1 minute speech to the class on his/her favorite school subject.

Generalized rubric AdvancedProficientPartially proficient Novice Use simple phrases and expanded vocabulary to make simple presentations on a variety of topics Use simple phrases and familiar vocabulary to make simple presentations on commonly encountered topics Use simple phrases and familiar vocabulary to make simple presentations on some very familiar topics Use only memorized words or phrases to make simple presentation on limited topics

Task Specific rubric AdvancedProficientPartially proficient Novice Use simple phrases and expanded vocabulary, with accuracy and expression. Use simple phrases and familiar vocabulary, with no significant errors and some detail. Use simple phrases and familiar vocabulary, with a few significant errors and minimal detail. Use only memorized words or phrases with many significant errors.

Rubric Focus Consistency Difficulty Error Level of detail Significance of detail Quality Speed or Fluency Variety

Task Specific/Benchmark Assessment The student prepares and presents a collage that describes himself/herself on videotape. Video exchanged with school of target culture.

Small group work Select a course and one benchmark. Design a specific task for that benchmark. *Create a rubric for the task.

Benchmark Maps Purpose: Provides consistency in identifying when benchmarks will be addressed as schools develop curriculum maps.

Benchmark maps are: Sequences of clustered benchmarks by quarters Clustered around Big Ideas of a grade or course

The Benchmark Map is developed with the following premises: All benchmarks for the grade level/course will be achieved in a school year. Major understandings are the big generalizations for the topic/concept. Benchmarks are presented in the suggested quarter for assessment. Italicized benchmarks are developed and assessed throughout the year.

Criteria considered Classroom practice and teacher input Language specific considerations (e.g., level of language learning difficulty) Content, skills, and topics Essential concepts of second language development o scaffolded learning o extended listening experience o receptive skills before productive skills

Taxonomic levels Benchmarks that contribute to big ideas for the time period Related benchmarks Balance of outcomes among the four quarters Difficulty and complexity of benchmarks

Sample of Benchmark Map: Introduction to World Languages A Grades 7/8 Semester 1, Quarter 1 Big Idea(s) / Major Understanding(s): Students will understand that: The functional use of a language is learned through developing and applying skills in authentic or meaningful contexts. Awareness of the perspectives of another culture provides insight into ones own culture and develops respect for the practices, products, beliefs, and values of other cultures

Introduction to World Languages A Grades 7/8 Semester 1, Quarter 1 HCPS III Benchmarks: WL.IS Identify tangible and intangible products and practices of the target culture and compare them to other cultures WL.IS Ask and answer social questions to get information or to maintain a conversation

Pair/share: What role do benchmark maps play in standards-based education? How can I use the maps?

Sample Curriculum Map

Application of Benchmark Maps Do a curriculum map for the first quarter of one course, based on the draft of the benchmark maps. Submit through courier or by to Lynette Fujimori by September 1, 2006.
