  • Language Placement and Beyond: Guidelines for the Design and Implementation of a Computerized Spanish Heritage Language Exam
    77 Heritage Language Journal, 9(1) https://doi.org/10.46538/hlj.9.1.5 Spring, 2012 Language Placement and Beyond: Guidelines for the Design and Implementation of a Computerized Spanish Heritage Language Exam Sara Beaudrie University of Arizona Cynthia Ducar Bowling Green State University Abstract This paper outlines the design, implementation, and analysis of a computerized Spanish heritage language (SHL) placement exam. The exam created by the authors exemplifies how to design a simple yet effective placement exam with limited resources. It is suggested that an SHL placement exam should be developed in-house due not only to the diversity of student populations but also to the unique structure and content of distinct SHL programs. The paper contends that SHL placement should be a fluid process that allows for the input of students, instructors and administrators. The paper concludes by reminding readers that an essential component of the SHL placement examination process is a strong and well thought out recruitment and promotion program that needs to both precede and follow placement. Background Hispanics continue to be the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population; according to 2010 census data, the Hispanic/Latino population in the United States reached 50.5 million, more than double the 1990 population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2011). By 2050, the U.S. Hispanic population is expected to more than double again, reaching 132.8 million people, or 30% of the total U.S. population. In the fall of 2008, 12% of college students and 20% of K-12 students were Hispanic (U.S.

  • Course Offerings & Graduation Requirements Booklet
    Course Offerings & Graduation Requirements Booklet Tricia Bush Marcy Tyler “I am convinced that knowledge is power - to overcome the past, to change our own situations, to fight new obstacles, to make better decisions. ~ Ben Carson Updated 2/19 Dear Students and Parents/Guardians: We are pleased to offer this booklet including information on New York State high school graduation requirements, diploma options, college planning, course offerings at GHS, and more! The high school educational program offers options for students who plan to continue their formal education beyond high school and for those who plan to enter the workforce or military following graduation. We hope you find this information helpful. This booklet allows students and parents to become familiar with the variety of curriculum choices offered at GHS and specific graduation requirements. We strongly encourage students to not only seek to satisfy graduation requirements, but to challenge themselves with classes that will better prepare them for college. Taking advantage of elective opportunities allows students to explore interests and make decisions about future plans. Please be aware, however, that most elective courses are tentative as they depend on enrollment. In Grade 8, students and parents have an opportunity to learn about the high school curriculum and graduation requirements prior to making course selections for grade 9. In grade 9, a more formalized plan will be made according to each student’s goals. Each year after that, we work with students and parents in choosing courses and making adjustments to the plan as interests/needs change. Course offerings can vary slightly from year to year as well.
