NYSAFLT Annual Conference nysaflt.org/annual-conference/ 

April 18, 2026 - The AATF of CNY was pleased to host our own Sarah Woodward‑Jones for an in‑depth and timely workshop focused on strengthening grading practices in world language classrooms. Her session, Towards Accurate, Equitable Grading Practices in World Language Classrooms, offered educators a clear and research‑supported path toward grading systems that more accurately reflect student performance and promote fairness for all learners. Woodward‑Jones highlighted how proficiency‑aligned, standards‑based approaches can create more accurate and equitable grades while supporting a growth mindset for all learners. Participants explored several research‑supported grading models for K–16 settings, along with practical strategies for streamlining assessment, managing digital gradebooks, and providing meaningful feedback. Educators left with clear, actionable tools to refine their grading systems and better align assessment with language proficiency development.
