Students in the Spanish B.A.Ed. degree program must participate in and complete the ACTFL/NCATE assessment in order to graduate. The plan includes baseline and midterm evaluations of speaking and writing proficiency and also various assessments to meet NCATE mandates. These requirements are in addition to the assessment requirements of the College of Education.  Please see the Spanish faculty for a complete description of the plan’s requirements.

As part of these assessment requirements, students in the Spanish B.A.Ed. degree program must complete an Official ACTFL OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview) exam before they will be allowed to begin their full internship. Students are expected to demonstrate an ACTFL proficiency rating of Advanced-Low on the OPI.  There is a fee associated with the OPI and the OPI is currently administered by an outside agency. Please see the Spanish faculty for more information.
