At school, teachers have the ability to see kids' screens in real-time. It really cuts down on cheating.

I teach Kindergarten and I assess my students as a whole group or one-on-one. Or I may have a clipboard teaching asking questions with assessment.

I admit, I've never done online assessment in Spanish. It's always been a headache, so I just never did. Plus kids readily admit that they will cheat when it's online

I use google forms for formative assessments,  but I also use LOTS of Martina Bex´s SOMOS curriculum (CI) including assessments and she is steadily updating her materials for COVID-19 readiness.

I taught Spanish at a University for two years before switching to a public middle school, where I taught full-time for four years before taking a part time teaching job following the birth of my second child. I now stay home full-time with my four children and moonlight as a teacher trainer and curriculum consultant until my kids are in school and I can return to the classroom. I travel nationally and internationally, training teachers in comprehensible input strategies. For a list of workshops that I offer, please click here.

I began using Comprehension-based methods because they are supported by SLA theory and research. Now, I can personally attest to their efficacy! I incorporate Cooperative Learning and limited Grammar Instruction. My passion is writing lesson plans that (1) teach culture to students in without departing from the target language, even to Novice language learners, and (2) support common core standards through the use of non-fiction, classic literature, and critical thinking and questioning.
