Nanosh, The IPA is a 2003 publication. If you will recall, I brought the 2010 update to your attention last year, the book Paul Sandrock wrote - " The Keys to Assessing Language Performance" - It is based on assessing all 3 modes: Interpersonal, Interpretive, Presentational. It has solid example so of how to do develop these assessments and talks a good deal about the logic of, as we discussed, planning backwards. Find the goal, make a plan how to get using all modalities. Glad to hear there is an agreement with the district. All my best.
