Join me on the podcast for a Leveling Up Coaching Episode.

How do you implement IPAs effectively in your classroom? Today’s episode is a Leveling Up episode, where I coach Judy, a German teacher in Illinois. Implementing IPA’s effectively is the area where wants to level up her teaching practice.

Suggestions:

  • Begin by incorporating IPAs in one unit or topic. This step-by-step approach allows you to refine your techniques and identify what works best for your students.
  • Authentic materials can be just about anything: a short video, a photo, a brochure. Create a Pinterest board where you can pin authentic resources that you find on the internet.
  • Develop clear and detailed rubrics to evaluate students' performance in IPAs. 
  • Begin with 2-3 modes on the IPA, then add on the other modes with future IPAs.
  • Offer formative practice opportunities before the actual IPA to help students become familiar with the assessment format.
  • Use AI tools, such as ChatGPT to create a possible IPA, or at least offer a template to use.
  • Create a Pinterest board where you can pin authentic resources that you find on the internet

Action Plan:

This Week:

  • Choose one unit or topic from your curriculum where you will create an IPA.
  • Create a clear and detailed rubric that aligns with the IPA tasks 

The Coming Weeks:

  • Design and implement formative practice activities related to the selected IPA unit. 
  • Administer the IPA for the selected unit, using the rubric to evaluate students' performance.
