언어 학습 분야의 리더들이 학생들에게 언어 능력 인증서를 제공하기 위해 협력합니다.
앨라배마 주 버밍엄 – 미국 스페인어 교사 협회 (AATSP) 및 Avant Assessment는 전략적 제휴를 공동으로 발표하게 된 것을 기쁘게 생각합니다. AATSP는 전 세계적으로 스페인어와 포르투갈어 교육을 촉진, 개발 및 발전시키는 전문 협회입니다. Avant 평가는 언어 능력 평가 및 전문 학습 교육의 선두 주자입니다.
“This alliance will open up opportunities for our members to qualify their students and themselves for their State or Global Seals of Biliteracy,” said Sheri Spaine Long, Executive Director of the AATSP. “Avant is a thought leader, pioneering ways for language assessment to support effective language learning and program development. The cutting-edge Avant MORE Learning™ trainings and ADVANCE™ online proficiency-standards training tool can supplement our AATSP professional development opportunities to support schools in implementing and improving our members’ dual immersion, heritage language, and world language programs.”
The strategic alliance will provide benefits for students and teachers alike. All members of the AATSP and their students will have expanded access to Avant’s STAMP™ (STAndards-based Measurement of Proficiency) assessments for Spanish and Portuguese, and providers of AATSP’s NSE, NSA, NPE and NSC tests will receive special discounts on STAMP, giving them the opportunity to qualify for state and Global seals of Biliteracy. Teachers will benefit from discounted pricing on Avant’s MORE Learning professional development and Avant’s ADVANCE training tools. Avant will also serve as an advisor to AATSP to support America’s largest academic Spanish contest, the National Spanish Exam, and AATSP’s other assessments.
AATSP and Avant share the mission of improving the teaching and learning of Spanish and Portuguese for all students – including programs for Heritage Learners, Second Language Learners, and Dual Language Immersion Learners. Effective assessment is important in improving learning, and effective professional learning is important in improving teaching.
Avant STAMP measures proficiency levels in Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. Avant MORE Learning professional development trainings focus on proven strategies for improving outcomes in language programs by giving teachers and administrators the skills to utilize the newest tools and strategies in data-informed practices, collaborative initiatives, and leadership in world language programs.
“The AATSP is a leader in developing and supporting outstanding programs in Spanish and Portuguese in both K-12 and Higher Education. I am impressed with the commitment of the AATSP leadership to serve the needs of all of its members and give both teachers and students the opportunity to earn a seal of biliteracy credential. This partnership is an alignment in both values and vision,” said David Bong the Co-Founder and CEO of Avant Assessment.
