Let’s Be Real: Teaching Isn’t Just Flashcards and Fairy Dust
Look, we all know that teaching a language isn’t just sipping espresso and conjugating verbs under a tree. 🍃
It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s students yelling “tengo queso” in response to literally any question.
And it’s definitely not about drilling vocab lists until your brain melts into a tortilla chip.
Teaching is about helping kids actually understand and communicate in another language—not just pass a test and immediately forget how to say “hello.”
But here’s the thing nobody puts on the Pinterest quote posters:
If teaching is the heart of the classroom...
Assessment is the pulse check.
You need to know they’re getting it—not just faking it ‘til final exam day.
And yet...
🎢 You’re stuck on the grading rollercoaster from H-E-double-accented-Ls.
🗂 You’re drowning in rubrics that were clearly designed by a sleep-deprived squirrel.
🎤 And don’t even get us started on oral assessments—because nothing screams “fun” like grading 36 awkward conversations about weekend plans.
Sound familiar?
We thought so.
Enter: The Assessment Academy.
This is not one of those click-it-and-forget-it courses.
It’s your grading survival kit. Your emergency exit. Your professional glow-up.
We’ll walk you through:
✅ Proficiency-based grading that actually reflects what students can do
✅ Creating rubrics that don’t make you want to throw your laptop into a lake
✅ Using tech tools without crying into your planner
✅ Streamlining the whole process so you can teach and have a life
Real strategies. Real results. Real talk.
Why settle for being a decent language teacher when you can be an assessment icon?
One whose students are showing up and showing off what they know—in real life, not just scantrons.
This isn’t grading. This is art. 🎨
🚨 Teacher Troubles Incoming: Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
Let’s play a quick game of “Which of these made you want to walk into the sea this week?” 🌊

🎯 Fix it:
Get solid, easy-to-use strategies that make speaking/listening assessments feel like less of a personal attack.
🧢 Challenge #4: One-Size-Fits-None Assessments

not

Learn how to embed quick, low-prep assessments right into your daily lessons—without breaking your flow.

🎯 Fix it:
Learn how to turn your assessments into clean, shareable progress reports that even admin can understand.
📚 Challenge #9: Teaching Evolved. Your Assessment Didn’t.

🎯 Fix it:
Get updated, research-based strategies that actually match the way you
teach
.

📝 Assessments aren’t pop quizzes of doom.

👀 Rubrics? Oh, they’re tight. Laser-focused. No fluff. No confusion. Just actual insights into how your students are doing.
Students aren’t asking “Is this graded?” every five seconds.
They know what they’re working toward. They’re invested. And dare we say it… engaged.
Even feedback has its glow-up. It’s no longer a random scribble in the margins—it’s part of a continuous, empowering, “you’ve got this!” conversation.
And best of all?
YOU.
You are not rage-grading at 11:57 p.m.
You’re sipping coffee like a calm, collected legend who’s got assessment on lock.
That classroom?
That version of you?
It’s not a fantasy.

Hi, I'm Scott.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Assessment Nerd
Yep, I’m a teacher too.
I’ve got the battle scars to prove it—ungraded papers in my backpack, coffee-fueled planning sessions, and yes… flashbacks to oral assessments gone rogue. 😵💫
I’ve been using comprehension-based methods to teach language for 20+ years, and here’s the truth:
Back in 2002, I realized something wild.
My students were passing my class… but couldn’t order a taco in Spanish without breaking into a cold sweat. 🌮😬
That was my wake-up call.
Since then, I’ve been obsessed with figuring out how to assess language in a way that actually makes sense—both for teachers and for students.
And now? I’ve packed all of it—two decades of classroom wins, fails, and "what even is this rubric" moments—into a course that’ll help you:
✔️ Spend less time grading
✔️ Get better results
✔️ And maybe even like assessments a little (wild, I know)
You don’t need another boring PD or confusing grading system.
You need tools that work in real classrooms with real students who say “¿qué?” 47 times a day.
That’s what the Assessment Academy delivers.
Let’s fix this assessment mess once and for all.

👩🎓 Your Students Deserve Better Than a 10-Question Google Form
You know that moment when a student finally gets it? Their eyes light up, they sit a little taller, and you're like, “OMG, I actually teach stuff!”
Yeah—that moment is everything. 💥
But here’s the harsh truth:
Just because a kid can crush a vocab quiz doesn’t mean they can order a sandwich in Spanish without panicking.
And the quiet student who totally thrives in conversation but turns into a stunned squirrel on test day? They deserve a chance too.
Real Talk:
Your students aren’t test scores.
They’re humans—with brains, emotions, TikTok addictions, and potential.
And they deserve assessments that reflect what they can actually do with the language—not just how well they can guess C on a multiple choice.
The Assessment Academy helps you build the kind of grading system that says:
✨ “I see your progress.”
✨ “I value your communication.”
✨ “I’m not just here to slap a number on your effort.”
You’ll learn how to:
🧠 Create rubrics that go beyond grammar police duty
📊 Use proficiency-based grading that reflects real-world skills
🛠 Master tech tools that streamline the whole dang process
And most importantly?
You’ll make assessments fair, meaningful, and actually useful for every student sitting in front of you.
So Let’s Stop Settling.
Your students deserve more than fill-in-the-blank worksheets and awkward oral exams that make them forget their own names.
🤔 Frequently Asked (and Slightly Snarky) Questions
Do I really need another PD course?
Only if you’re tired of grading like it’s 2006 and pretending a check-minus is meaningful feedback. But hey, if you love chaos, carry on.
Is this one of those “fluff” courses with no actual takeaways?
If by “fluff” you mean “tactical, bingeable, implement-this-TOMORROW strategies,” then yes. So fluffy. Like a chainsaw made of pillows.
I don’t have time for this right now.
That’s the point. You don’t have time—because your current assessment system is eating it like a mid-period bag of Takis. This course gives you your weekends back. You're welcome.
Is this course live? Because I can’t with another Zoom thing.
Nope. ZERO live sessions. Just you, your cozy pants, and 10 on-demand, watch-whenever-you-want classes. Pajamas are the unofficial dress code.
Will this work for MY students? They're a special kind of chaotic.
Yes. It was designed for real teachers with real students who think “yo tengo pizza” is peak Spanish. You’re in good company.
What if I hate tech? Like… irrationally hate it.
Perfect. The tech tools in this course are chosen specifically for people who still print rubrics and fear Google Forms. Baby steps. Big results.
I already use rubrics. Why would I need this?
Cool. But do your rubrics actually make sense? Are they saving you time? Do your students understand them? No shade—just honest questions.
Will I be tested on this?
Only if you count feeling 500% more confident in your assessments as a test. Spoiler: there’s no final exam. Just finally knowing what you’re doing.
What if I have questions? Or a breakdown mid-course?
You’ll get access to a community of fellow teachers and yes—I'm in there too, answering questions and validating your stress. Think of it as group therapy with rubrics.
What if I sign up and don’t like it?
If you somehow hate saving time, understanding your students better, and feeling like a functional teacher again, email me. We’ll sort it out like grown-ups.
How long do I have access?
You’ve got 12 whole months of access to binge, pause, rewatch, and pretend you’re totally caught up (we see you). That’s an entire year to become the Beyoncé of assessment—or at least stop grading with a dartboard.
Upgraded to LIFETIME ACCESS?
Then congrats, you’re immortal now. Assessment wisdom is yours forever.
What is your refund policy?
Here’s the deal—we get that sometimes life throws pencils at your face. So if something comes up and you need to bail:
30+ days before the course? 💸 100% refund. No hard feelings.
21–29 days before? 💸 75% refund. Still generous, right?
14–20 days out? 💸 50% refund. Half-credit, just like that kid’s late essay.
7–13 days before? 💸 25% refund. You’re cutting it close, but okay.
Less than 7 days? 💸 0% refund. By this point, we’ve already spent it on coffee and emotional support sticky notes.
Translation: If you need to back out, do it early. We’ll still high-five you on the way out.
I still have questions!
No worries! If your question isn't answered here, please feel free to send me an email at [email protected] and I'll be happy to answer them for you.
