RAMA and the PeTnufa - The exams that test themselves!
dagogical Secretariat are proud to present: internal assessment tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) for the 5th and 8th grades. The tools allow teachers to receive a quick report on the students' situation in English, including recommendations for intervention. These are experimental tools, used for internal evaluation purposes only. Using these tools is not mandatory, yet highly recommended for formative purpose and perfecting teaching and learning. No use will be made of the information collected from the students for external reporting.

• In order to ensure that pupils have maximum exposure to English, hours for English studies should be spread out over the week. English should not be taught twice on the same day.
• In elementary school, there should be no double hours of English.
  In high school, double hours of English should only be scheduled once a week.

To teachers in elementary and junior high schools

Dear Teachers,

You can now access the banks of performance-based tasks for assessing pupils' achievement of the benchmarks at the foundation and intermediate levels directly from the Internet. The banks provide you with samples of tasks (including rubrics) that can be used in the classroom, either "as are" or through adaptation. They may also serve as models for designing your own tasks. Incorporating these tasks into existing assessment procedures enables you to widen the spectrum of methods of assessment and enhances feedback regarding both process and product of language learning.

Before working with the banks it is recommended you carefully read the introduction and general guidelines.

You will find links to both banks by clicking here. 

The National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education (RAMA) in conjunction with the English Inspectorate has developed a kit for assessing speaking in English in junior high school – Assessing Speaking in English (ASK).
