Using Technology to Enhance COAAPs

Session 3: 2:15pm-3:45pm (Friday March 01, 2024)

 

Description

As a new Assistant Director, I was surprised when I saw how we were assessing our ESL students via COAAPs. The process was messy, and grading was a daunting task. This year, our ESL Professional Learning Communities took a hard look at the COAAPS and how we could update them using tech tools. We began by updating our survey, how could we ensure that students had voice and choice in choosing which COAAPs would be implemented? Once we had that data, how could we assess students effectively? Next we began looking back at the assessments we used in the past. Were the tasks authentic? Could they be improved using technology? How will they be scored? We’ve learned a lot along the way. This session will share the process we’ve followed, the tools we used, what we have learned, and how we are moving forward.
