Performance Assessment with the Global Scale of English – Understanding performance assessment development, observation and scoring
This on-demand webinar will review the development and assessment of performance applications and discuss how to track and measure progress based on observable achievement with the Global Scale of English.
Performance assessment allows teacher direct insight into the day to day language development of their students. Using the Global Scale of English (GSE) to develop performance assessment can help provide additional insight into the specific areas of learner progress. Additionally, the application of the GSE in performance assessment can improve understanding of learner strengths and needs, improving the overall flow of teaching and learning for all. In this on-deman webinar we will review the development and assessment of performance applications and discuss how to track and measure progress based on observable achievements.
All attendees will receive access to GSE tools and resources, including rubrics for assessment for young learners and adults. Additionally, teachers will have free performance plans that can be used for direct classroom practice.
