Saludos to you all. I am excited about using our wikis to communicate about your teaching and about how I can support you. I wanted to begin by uploading some rubrics I have created for use with bilingual students. Several are in Spanish and are meant to assess students' oral language expression in Spanish. One is bilingual, capturing students' oral language in both English and Spanish. A third is in Spanish and is meant to be used in the context of Language Experience Approaches as a way to document student literacy growth. There are two writing rubrics; one from Kathy Escamilla and one from the Freemans. I am working on a writing rubric, based on Escamilla's work with Literacy Squared, that captures student writing growth in both languages and I will share it with you as soon as it is finished.

These rubrics are meant to function as a launching pad for you to tweak and adapt as a team. They can become assessments that you all use once you adapt them for your context. There are probably statements and descriptions that need some clarification. Please do not hesitate to contact me!
