Thank you for the information. We will begin piloting soon, and I intend to bring up the issue of downloading. I appreciate your comments.

H...See MoreI have two students I'm wondering about. One just was diagn diagnosed with vision problems, so I think I'll have a bette better idea in two to three months, after therapy. One is bored bored but I don't think wants to do more. I've known one kid d kid during first year that I could tell very early (before Thank Thanksgiving) was gifted.
How do you determine if a student is gifted? What year can you you usually tell by? I've known by the end of 2nd year who has has talent but any tips for telling in 1st year? The par parents want to know. Thanks,
I hope you are doing well. I have had this question in the back of my mind for the last little while since “proficiency-based curriculum” has been the new rage. What exactly is it? What does it entail? I frankly admit that I do not remember what constitutes as “proficiency” and what constitutes as “competency” from my college days (if that is what the “proficiency” reference is here). What is the difference between “proficiency-based curriculum” and Communicative Teaching Approach and Direct/Natural Method/Approach?
Useless education jargon..I am sure it's a new method based on new "proficiency based standards" that are just as vague and useless as the "now outdated" standards. In education classes I made a plan and clicked on the standards I met at random..then I verified my plan could meet that. Later I quit bothering to verify. only one teacher ever gave me a les...See MoreI am sure it's a new method based on new "proficiency based standards" that are just as vague and useless as the "now outdated" standards.

Later I quit bothering to verify. only one teacher ever gave me a lesson plan grade below A, and a) she gave everyone C- on down on everything and b) she never said my lessons and standards weren't aligned. Whatever.. I will make the same plans for 1-3 no matter what curricula we are now following. On 1/28/17, Daniel Hanson wrote: > Hello, everyone. > > I hope you are doing well.

RonI would say that the focus on the class is proficiency and actually being able to use the language rather than knowing about the language. Student are proficiency enough to use the language and the focus is on communication rather than a focus on grammar concepts.
While Conjuguemos does not test verb grid charts, it does test the forms.
It has many features that you might like. --use your own activities or copy activities from other teachers (and modify). --print out verb grid charts for the students to complete. --can also print worksheets from the exercises --Students use the site to practice ---flashcard mode, practice exercises, and games --Can set an activity as a quiz ---Can choose which pronouns to use ---set time for exercises
--Once you set up classes/students, it grades each exercise (practice and/or quiz) and you can see exactly what the student got wrong.

I use y'all for ustedes because I also teach the vosotros forms, and I use you guys or you girls from Spain for vosotros/as. I explain to my students that y'all means "all of you, plural."
