Input-based assessment for CI teachers — in this episode of Comprehend THIS!, we dig into why traditional grading systems clash with comprehension-based instruction and what to do about it.

If your assessment routine is eating your weekends and still not telling you what your students actually know, this conversation will give you a clearer path forward.

Pamela Parks spent years as a professional translator for film and TV before landing in the world language classroom — which turns out to be excellent preparation for spotting when the wrong tools are being applied to complex human communication. Lynne Hendrick brings 22 years of public school German teaching to the table, plus a track record of making CI work in contexts most teachers don't even try — including special education. Together, these two have a lot of practical things to say about assessment that actually serves acquisition instead of just documenting it.
