Final Exams vs. Reflections

At the beginning of this school year my school changed its grading policy. I won't get into too many details about it, but I will say that we went from a traditional grading system to a 20% formative assessment / 80% summative assessment model. We were also encouraged to do away with final exams. That part made my day, not just because it was going to save me hours in December and May when I could be doing other things, but also because I'm constantly assessing students and could tell where every student is on their paths to proficiency. However, since successfully achieving National Board Certification, I know how important it is to reflect on learning and I frequently make my students do it. Therefore, what used to be finals is now a reflection on the semester.

Since AP French Language and Culture begins in level 1, I wanted student reflections to show that. Below is what I came up with. I adapted it for different levels and the results were outstanding. The students really did a wonderful job.

I will add some student comments later. I was blown away and I felt good about what we had done for the semester and the feeling of community that I established.
