Vista books have provided extra resources that were needed for lesson and activity planning

# data[].attributes.body
Most classes are good size and are manageable. Most students are engaged and available to learn. It is good to be in-person!

# data[].attributes.body
We have two preparations and student class sizes are good.

We follow the curriculum to teach our lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
So far I am using some of the activities, vocabulary from textbooks, test activities, CD's in VISTA physical material in school. Some random lesson align to the UNITS and Quarters that we learn during the semester. All this activities have to be designed and modify to short, medium and long term planning.

Curriculum organization

# data[].attributes.body
The curriculum and the resources (ie textbook and practices) need to be aligned. The text for middle school needs to be age-appropriate. We have all had to  research on-line resources that we can use on our own time - it would be great to have a list of recommended resources.

# data[].attributes.body
We need classrooms!!!
We need curriculum alignment to the resources available (or get new resources).
We need alignment between unit focus and final exam.
We need a placement test to provide initial high school recommendations.
We need to conduct language screeners to incoming 6th grade students.

Extra support to class management, as all students have different levels of Spanish in the same grades, they need special accommodations, levels of difficulties in Spanish, different testing and didactic material to learn in class. The amount of work could be a lot for the number of students in each class, grading, posting assignment in power school, and testing became a time limit for the due dates to finish work as a teacher.

The unit assessments are long - sometimes taking more than one class to administer. They are also many pages long - our copiers are not always available for such long projects. There must be a way to streamline assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
Our unit assessment reflect our curriculum but our final exam does not. We must change the curriculum or change the final. Unit assessment should be re-formatted to the digital era. Teachers need an assessment to provide accurate initial high school recommendations.

We provide a quiz and a test for each unit.

# data[].attributes.body
Prepare the students to have quizzes and exams often will support the kids to not be scared of a FINAL TESTING, this will make a teacher and student more confident on taking and pass the score need it, specially to 8 grades students who are transfering to HIGH SCHOOL.

I have several readings for every grade and I have been building lessons based on the curriculum.
Size of classes are good.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are progressing into high school language classes

We are using interesting topics provided by the curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
Galerias Books are not alignment with curriculum. There are nothing for the 7th grade curriculum on them. Maybe, we can use some grammar activities.
I think students should be placed by their knowledge of the language and not by their grade.

# data[].attributes.body
We can not be successful at an immersive type of communicative language curriculum without a space in order to immerse students...aka...we need classrooms!!!

8th grade students should have Spanish everyday (as before).

Due to high numbers of MLL Spanish should be taught at the elementary level.

# data[].attributes.body
Native language curriculum needs to be completed or revamped.

# data[].attributes.body
There are two placement assessments, one made last year. We can make a combination of both.
There are not unit tests or quizzes. We have to create them.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment for end of year can be revamped

We need classrooms

Spanish Language Arts Curriculum is needed. Hours are spent translating and finding materials.  Assesments are needed - NWEA in Spanish, etc?  Curriculum should be just like the ELA is but for SLA.

Science - Units need to be completed in Spanish. Spanish resources would be helpful in Spanish.  Again, hours spent translating materials, videos, etc.
S.S.  - same as above....

Teachers PD will be useful, particularly in the DL program - Bridging content areas, pacing with ELA
