For those of you who are World Language applicants, how did you receive your WPT and OPIc scores from ACTFL? LTI said I would need to contact the NBCT test coordinator, but I'm not sure who that is.

Does anyone have practice constructed response questions for component 1 for exceptional needs (besides the three in the instructions)? Or a source for great practice questions?
I read through the directions and can only find pictures explicitly stated as submitted evidence on page 9 under the Generation and Use of Assessment Data section. I can't find anywhere that we can't under the Participation in Learning Communities section, but was a bit confused because it didn't explicitly say that you can either. 2. Are there constraints or rules as to what a unit is and how long a unit is?
I'm thinking of using sight words as my unit for Component 4, but was wondering if it had to be a min. or max. number of weeks between the Pre-Assess. and the Summative?
Hi there. I'm currently working on Component 4 Exceptional Needs Specialists and I had a question about the evidence. Does anyone know if it's okay to use a copy of the actual IEP goals/progress notes of a student if all the personal information is blacked out? I've called and email NBPTS and haven't been able to get an answer. Thanks!

I have great news for you: the only thing about your submissions that has to be about Biology is in Component 1, the testing. I actually called last year to ensure of this because I was in a similar situation. I ended up doing one of my videos in my Physical Science class during the "Math Review" unit. The scores came back glorious, so it worked out.
Go with a lesson you think is SOLID. Don't worry about the content. And video everything you can, then go back and see what will be the easiest to write about.
Good luck! And glad to see another Bio person here! Lisa

If my lesson starts off as whole groups and then the students begin experimenting in small groups--which would I use???? So confused:(
