Standard6 / Standard7 / Standard8 / Standard9 / Standard10 Standard 8 Teachers know how to test for student progress. The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the pupil.

Evidence 1: Rubric found in Action Research Paper Rationale 1: The rubric I used in my action research paper was developed to help assess the students in their oral assessments. This rubric is used for students ages 14-18 in my Spanish 2 classes.

The development of my speaking assessment rubric helps me be more accurate when grading my students. With this rubric, I will be able to also use it for my Spanish 1 students as well as introduce it to the rest of my department. As I continue to use this rubric, I am able to observe the strengths and weaknesses of my studetns. I am then able to re-evaluate my teaching and gain a better look at where I need to put more an emphasis on. The next step in the use of these rubrics, is to have my students self evaluate. My hopes is that they may see what mistakes they continually make or gain confidence in that they are able to speak Spanish.

KSD 8.K.2 The teacher knows how to select, construct, and use assessment strategies and instruments appropriate to the learning outcomes being evaluated and to other diagnostic purposes.

I created this oral assessment rubric for this particular class to use as an instrument to accurately assess my students.

8.S.3 The teacher uses assessment strategies to involve learners in self-assessment activities, to help them become aware of their strengths and needs, and to help them to set personal goals for learning.

As I continue to use this speaking assessment rubric, the next step I plan to take is to have the students self-evaluate so they become aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

8.D.2 The teacher is committed to using assessment to identify student strengths and promote student growth rather than to deny students access to learning opportunities.

My reasoning to using a speaking assessment rubric is so that I can measure my students in their oral language proficiency.
