How to Teach VIPKid Unit Assessments
If you are assigned to teach a VIPKid Unit Assessment, don’t panic. They are straightforward and will become second nature once you teach a few of them. Here are a few tips you’ll want to save to help you master the UA:
Prepare for the assessment by going over the slides and practicing pacing (there are 50 slides instead of 25).
Consider it an evaluation of how students are understanding the material, not a test.
Still offer assistance and encouragement throughout the assessment. (It’s not a traditional test where they have to do everything all on their own.)
Never end the assessment early, even if the student flies through the slides.
Prepare a game, song, or conversation topic to use if there is extra time at the end.
Be prepared for anything.
Some students will not have a final project completed (only for second assessments in lesson 12).
Some students will not be able to answer questions, even with assistance (it’s rare, but it happens).
Some students will not show up to class.
Don’t forget to leave time to go over the final projects at the end.
Make sure to fill out the assessment form and leave written feedback. You can use templates from FeedbackPanda.com to make this super simple.
This creates a private checklist in your account.
