FAQs
What AZELLA proficiency levels does Speakable use?
The standard AZELLA levels: Pre-Emergent, Emergent, Basic, Intermediate, and Proficient, referenced directly in feedback and rubrics.
How do benchmarks connect to AZELLA?
Benchmarks measure all four domains in AZELLA terms, with results by classroom, school, and grade, so you don't wait for the next AZELLA window to spot gaps.
Can AI generate activities at a specific AZELLA level?
Yes. Set the AZELLA level when creating an activity and Speakable generates content for that level.
Can rubrics align to AZELLA descriptors?
Yes. Choose AZELLA in AI Studio's rubric creator, then attach the rubric to any activity for automatic scoring.
Do portfolios show AZELLA growth over time?
Yes. Every response includes an AZELLA estimate, so each portfolio shows the student's trajectory across the year.
Does this replace AZELLA testing?
No. Speakable gives you AZELLA-aligned data between testing windows, so official results confirm what you already know.
