Scoring Guides for Checkpoint A
OBEWL has created easy-to-use scoring guides for Checkpoint A Interpersonal and Presentational tasks.Ìý These scoring guides include rubrics aligned to the Checkpoint A proficiency targets (Novice Mid to Novice High) written in student-friendly language that can be used to score student work for formative, end-of-unit summative, and Checkpoint Benchmark assessments.Ìý As the proficiency targets for Checkpoint A are the same for category 1-2 and category 3-4 languages, these scoring guides can be used for all modern languages.Ìý These scoring guides are available in both Word format and PDF.
