Daily Class Needs - Whole Group Work

Facilitator-led instruction (Refer to page 39 in FacilitatorHandbook):

• Objectives:• Review what students should be able to say/do in Spanish after

this unit.• Pronunciation:

• Start every class with that day’s Pronunciation and Speaking Labs activities. Use smartboard/projector and speakers to have whole class listen to the native speakers pronounce and then repeat together as a class. Students should also record themselves and listen to the recordings immediately.

• Grammar Introduction:• This is usually on Day 2 and for Spanish 1 and 2 and Day 4 for

Spanish 1A and 1B.• Have students read the grammar sheet aloud after watching

the grammar video lesson. WV Virtual School Training for On-Site Facilitators 2014

Daily Class Needs

• Student Reference Guide –student notebooks with vocabulary, grammar, classroom commands and study organizers.

• Audio Activities- speaking and listening assignments require working individual headsets and microphone

• Communication- Students and facilitators check e-mail daily and throughout class:

Homework, Test, and Quiz Preparation


Facilitating Assessments

Quizzes and Tests:

• Students must start teacher graded assesments at the same time under your supervision: Reflection Assessments, Unit Tests, Speaking, and Writing Tests.

• Pacing can be flexible for other autogradedassessments (pop quiz, cultural tidbit, listening and reading comprehension, etc.)

• Restrictions on all unit tests prevent students from taking Unit Test and Unit Speaking or Writing test if they have not finished all the quizzes for that unit first.

• There will be a 2-hour window on ALL graded assessments. The students should not open any test unless they are sure they will have class time to finish it. The test will auto-submit after 2 hours and the student will not be able to come back to it later.


Which of these is cheating?

A. A student takes a quiz or test at homeB. A student takes a quiz or test when the facilitator is not

presentC. A student opens a quiz and looks over it then returns to the

lessonsD. A student starts a quiz and saves it, but finishes it the next

dayE. A student uses the Student Reference Guide on a graded

assessment

Academic Integrity Policy


Academic Honesty

When can students use an online translator or dictionary?


Academic Honesty

When can students use their notes on quizzes and tests?


Monitoring Student Progress

• Check the grade book every week:• Confer with your WVVS teacher for a designated day• Allow time to go over feedback with students• Help students identify and complete missing or unsubmitted work

• Zeros- Spanish teachers will put a temporary zero if work is not completed by the end of the unit. The zero becomes permanent, with no chance for make-up after two units.

• Change Grade Display to view specific units


Monitoring Student Progress•Check Missing Work in Grades by going to grades tab.

• Check this weekly & especially after quizzes

•Students will be responsible for tracking their own Missing Work

•Grades are cumulative and based on points. • Categories are no longer weighted.

•Notify phone teacher when student has a prolonged absence


E-mail - Students and facilitators check e-mail daily and throughout class using: http://access.k12.wv.us:1081 or http://portal.microsoftonline.com/ New Emails are the same user name as before just without the word

“Access”. We depend on e-mail to communicate with students. Even though

they will not have an e-mail from us most days, we need to know that when they do have an e-mail from us they will read it.

Encourage students to copy the facilitator on important e-mails. Included a subject line with:

School, Name, Level, and subject of message ¡quiquiriqui!

Communication: Email
