Lisa Shepard has been having her students graph their performance on each Integrated Performance Assessment that they do, noting the proficiency level they performed at each time. She writes, "There are a few reasons why I consider the simple task of graphing proficiency/performance progress to be one of my successes in 2017. For one, I LOVED the conversations that I heard among my students as they completed their graphs each time. It is so much more meaningful to hear 'I moved up to Intermediate Low 1' than 'I got a B.' These graphs are also a great visual for my students. As we transition toward teaching for proficiency (and away from discrete point assessments) some students question 'what' they’re learning. These graphs help students to see their progress in a concrete way." The graphs also informed the instructor, leading her to conclude that she needs to change the prompts and provide more direction and targeted practice for the third IPA.
