What are Performance Based Assessments?
Performance assessment is one alternative to traditional methods of testing student achievement.
Performance assessments measure skills such as the ability to contribute to the work of a group and develop a plan of action when confronted with a new situation.
What is a Summative Project?
These activities are designed to answer a question or solve a problem and generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the classroom.
What is a Summative Project?
Summative projects teach students 21stcentury skills as well as content. These skills include communication and presentation skills, organization and time management skills, research and inquiry skills, self-assessment and reflection skills, and group participation and leadership skills.
What is a Summative Project?
Summative Projects are generally done by groups of students working together toward a common goal. Performance is assessed on an individual basis, and takes into account the quality of the product produced, the depth of content understanding demonstrated, and the contributions made to the ongoing process of project realization.
What is expected in class?
• Be at school and on time– If you miss school, you miss instruction– You can make up work, but you miss discussion
• Be respectful to teacher and classmates– No profanity
• Be prepared for class everyday– Notebook/Binder and pencil– No such thing as a free day
• No tobacco in class
What is expected in class?
• We will use technology– Cell phones should not be out unless you are given
instruction/permission to use it for an assignment– Technology does not equal translator! If you are caught
using a translator on any assignment you will lose points for that assignment, as well as lose all technology rights.
• Go to the restroom between classes• Do not interrupt class or get out of your seat while I am
talking

Classroom procedures
Bell Work
Come into class, gather materials, begin bell work
Bell work will be a question related to material learned the previous day or as a way to see what you know about a new topic
Bell work will be scored for participation with the Unit Tasks (see Unit Overview Sheet)
Target Journals
You will have learning targets posted on the board every day that you must keep track of.
These questions and statements will tell you what you should be able to do after a lesson.
For each target you must fill out the journal format.
Late Work
If you are absent for a test, you must make the test up the day after you get back to school. The test score will stay a zero in Infinite Campus until it is made up.
If you are absent on the day a project or other assignment is due, you must turn in the project or assignment the day you return. The score will remain a zero in Infinite Campus until the project or assignment is turned in.
Late Work
Each project or assignment that is turned in late, not due to an absence, will lose 10 points for every day that it is not turned in.
All makeup work when you are absent is located in the makeup work folder.
For each unit students must complete the following to get full participation points:

I can change this if restroom use gets out of hand!
Stay in your seat until I dismiss you, not when the bell rings, at the end of class
Do not ask to go to another teacher’s room for any reason!
Tutoring
I typically stay after school for additional help on Tuesday and Thursday until 4:30. I am more than willing to meet before or after school for additional help to improve your Spanish skills. I am also willing to meet during lunch. You will need to set up an appointment with me ahead of time, at least one-day prior. If you need additional help, I am able to recommend some online resources to assist you at home.
Something to Keep In Mind…
Fair isn’t always equal.
