Our June InterCom articles and activities center around our belief that assessment is fundamentally about learning and improvement, and that reflection and feedback are at the core of the assessment process. Grades should only be reflective of that process. In today’s issue CASLS Director Julie Sykes talks about what we can learn from large-scale assessment scores from instruments like AAPPL or STAMP. Next week Lindsay Marean, InterCom Editor, will discuss the difference between assessment and accountability. In our June 19 issue, CASLS International Programs Specialist Renée Marshall writes about context-based assessment as a learning tool. We will finish the month with Renée’s and CASLS Assistant Director Stephanie Knight’s description of using LinguaFolio Online as part of the reflective process.
