Integrated Performance Assessment.

Can-Do Statement

Teachers can design a three-mode IPA backwards from one Can-Do plus one source text using the 5-step protocol, score all three modes against ACTFL-anchored rubrics, and run the same IPA in mixed L2-and-heritage classrooms using the register-switch variant.

What's inside

22 pages, page-by-page.

The ACTFL Integrated Performance Assessment framework (Adair-Hauck, Glisan & Troyan 2013) ported to ready-to-deploy form for U.S. high school Spanish. The pack teaches the 3-mode sequence (interpretive Day 1 → interpersonal Day 2 → presentational Day 3), the 5-step backwards-design protocol for authoring your own IPAs from one Can-Do plus one authentic source text, and the Performance-vs-Proficiency framing every Spanish teacher should be using in parent-communication. Six full IPAs ship ready to drop into your year at Novice Mid (La familia), Novice High (Mis pasatiempos), Intermediate Low (Los viajes), Intermediate Mid (El medio ambiente), Intermediate High (Las redes sociales), and Pre-Advanced (Los desafíos mundiales). Four analytic rubrics anchored to ACTFL Performance Descriptors: interpretive (3 strands), interpersonal (4 criteria), presentational writing (4 criteria), and the heritage register-switch variant (4 criteria with register-switch scored explicitly). Plus a 7-criterion source-text selection tool, a curated Spanish-source bank list, three real-classroom rubric examples (IB Writing 2022, IB SL Speaking 2020, Spanish 2 Project), and a calibration-discipline protocol so two graders can score the same IPA within 1 point of each other on 80% of strands by sample 10. Polished 22-page PDF plus editable Word + Slides scaffolds.

The research behind it

Why this works.

Adair-Hauck, Glisan & Troyan 2013 (Implementing Integrated Performance Assessment, ACTFL)

The 3-mode framework. The pack follows the sequenced architecture exactly.

ACTFL Performance Descriptors 2012

Each rubric is anchored to specific descriptors. Performance vs Proficiency distinction.

Sandrock 2010 (The Keys to Assessing Language Performance, ACTFL)

4-point analytic rubric architecture sourced to Sandrock.

Norris & Ortega 2000 (d=1.13)

Where focus-on-form instruction belongs in an IPA unit.

ACTFL 21st Century Skills Map 2011

The interpretive rubric's third strand (inference, evaluation, comparison).

Beaudrie & Fairclough 2012

Heritage IPA variant with register-switch presentational.

Schmidt 1990 (Noticing Hypothesis)

Why posting Los Modos on the classroom wall improves mode-specific performance.
