Last month we noted the first of three articles by Meredith White, highlighting the American Council on the Teaching Foreign Languages' six core practices (http://caslsintercom.uoregon.edu/content/24973). Now you can read the second installment, "Planning, assessment and feedback." Ms. White writes, 

"In forcing myself to become more intentional, connected and in-tune with my own planning, my student feedback was transformed into relevant, genuine building blocks for students. Later, as I engaged in more and more training in teaching toward proficiency, other areas of my teaching strengthened. Student relationships, which had always been very positive, transcended to great because I was incorporating personalized rigor into class. Now they can articulate their current language skills, say what their next proficiency-based goal is, explain what it will take for them to reach said goal, and that has been a wonderful journey."
