In this workshop, participants will view the National Standards, the ACTFL K-12 Performance Guidelines, and their instructional practices through the lens of assessment. Beginning with a review of the three modes of communication (Interpretive, Interpersonal, Presentational), participants are introduced to the construct of ACTFL Integrated Performance Assessment.  Tasks and rubrics for each performance level (Novice, Intermediate, Pre-Advanced) are presented. Using the rubrics, participants examine and rate samples of student performance at each level. Participants then design standards-based integrated performance assessment tasks for use in their own classrooms using teacher-tested templates. (The development of the ACTFL IPA was supported by a 3-year grant from the Department of Education International Research and Studies Program.)
