Assessment Plan
November 6, 2016
This assessment plan is for a sixth grade Chinese dual immersion class which is
divided into a Chinese literacy component and a social studies component. The number
of male and female students is fairly even, and to my knowledge there are no students
who are enrolled in special education. These students have been enrolled in the Chinese
immersion program since first grade, but there is a stark learning difference between
several students. Many students enjoy learning Chinese and are eager to expand their
knowledge of the language, while others continue to struggle to communicate and appear
unmotivated to improve their language skills. There are a few students who regularly
disrupt class with sounds effects, distracting other students with side conversations and
learning. I believe that through incorporating activities that require students to produce
language in a variety of formats, I will be able to track their progress over time, which
will then inform how I create the formal assessments and prepare students for those
in class, pair and group project work, and review activities that employ all 4 modes of
variety in an attempt to best capture what students know and what they are able to do
with what they know. Formal assessments will include portfolios, presentations, skits,
(portfolios, presentations, writing samples, etc.) provide greater opportunities for some
students to show their best work than other forms of assessment. Thus, by implementing
varied strategies, I will reach more of my students. If these forms of assessment are
unsuccessful in measuring student growth and progress, I will collaborate with the other
sixth grade teachers to make adjustments based on student needs and learning styles.
Depending on how many students are unsuccessful with these assessment methods, I may
also meet with parents to discuss what they can do to help their students prepare for their
assessments. I will discuss solutions with other immersion teachers and adapt their
strategies to my classroom.
