AATSP EXAMS 10' PRESENTATION FOR SPANISH & PORTUGUESE TEACHERS/SUPERVISORS/ADMINISTRATORS

AATSP Exams is a program of the ‪@americanassn.ofteachersofs1223‬ . They recognize student achievements, promote language proficiency, and stimulate interest and value of the teaching and learning of Spanish & Portuguese.

Since they are proficiency-based, teachers are not expected to follow a specific curriculum. Teachers and students just need to get familiar with the format and the exam administration ‪@lingcolanguagelabs5757‬ platform.

AATSP Exams contemplate both Content Standards (what students know) and Performance Standards (what students can do), all in real-life contexts and with the use of authentic materials.

NSA/NSE can be combined and be used both as formative & summative assessments. They provide important data.

AATSP Exam materials offer valuable classroom resources: Free Practice + Practice Tests.

The experience with the AATSP Exams prepares students to succeed in other language assessments such as ‪@collegeboard‬ AP Spanish & Culture, CLEP, STAMP, AAPPL, among others, becoming stepping stones to college language credits or to the Seal of Biliteracy.

Participating in AATSP Exams offers the opportunity to be eligible for Teacher and Student Scholarships.
