As a dual immersion history teacher, aligning curriculum with my co-teachers and program colleagues requires intentional collaboration and strategic planning.

As a dual immersion history teacher, I collaborate closely with my program teachers to ensure a cohesive and engaging learning experience for our students. We regularly meet to align curriculum, discuss student progress, and ensure we’re supporting bilingual and biliterate development across subjects.

As a dual immersion history teacher, I assess my students using a combination of formative and summative assessments to gauge both their historical understanding and language proficiency. Examples are project based learning, informal assessments and DBQ to gauge writing proficiency.

As a dual immersion history teacher, I interpret my student's assessment outcomes by considering both content mastery and language development. I analyze their responses to see if they understand historical concepts and can express their ideas effectively in the target language.

Fletcher is in the transition of adopting a new curriculum mapping so align Mandarin and English content. Before the mapping, there was no alignment because of the limit of our curriculum. However, teachers are still waiting to be trained on how to effectively use the mapping.

The responsibilities are decided for each grade level to ensure the 50/50 split of Mandarin and English. However, not all grade levels are following the decided splitting responsibility. Therefore, 50/50 is not consistent across the grade level.

We have been using Level Learning to assess students' reading comprehension for several years. This year, we would like to start to use Level Learning writing assessment to assess students' writing skills. So far, we don't have a benchmark test for listening and speaking. Teachers assess students mostly based on class observation.

The teachers use the Level Learning data to give small group instructions and manage paired work. It's very important because our students' Mandarin levels have huge gaps, especially in upper grades.

Mandarin program needs benchmark listening and speaking test. Please look into AAPPL(ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages). FYI, SBAC has listening comprehension test.
