Some random lesson align to the UNITS and Quarters that we learn during the semester.

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.

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.]]> 2022-03-07 21:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082547815 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548029 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.]]> 2022-03-07 21:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548029 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548350 2022-03-07 21:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548350 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548460 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. ]]> 2022-03-07 21:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548460 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548656 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.]]> 2022-03-07 21:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548656 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548873 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.]]> 2022-03-07 21:03:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082548873 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082549010 2022-03-07 21:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082549010 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082549130 I have several readings for every grade and I have been building lessons based on the 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.]]> 2022-03-07 21:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082549898 francessaez16 https://padlet.com/dasilvat/3roq2dfj19ofyms3/wish/2082550028 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.

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
