Ready to Chart Your Professional Development Path?

Welcome to the “Linguistic Compass Quiz”

This initial assessment is designed to help you, as a teacher or school leader, identify areas of linguistic knowledge where you might benefit from professional development. By taking this quiz, you’ll gain insights into your understanding of four key linguistic domains: Phonology, Orthography, Morphology and Etymology. These areas form the bedrock of effective literacy instruction, and a strong grasp of each can significantly enhance your teaching practice and your students’ outcomes.

The quiz consists of 16 multiple-choice questions, evenly distributed across the four linguistic domains. Keep an eye on the point tracker in the corner of the screen to determine which areas you excel in, and which might require further exploration. This self-awareness is the first step towards targeted professional growth.
‍
Remember, this is just the beginning of your journey. A more comprehensive, advanced quiz is available in my book, “Using Linguistic Lenses to Journey into Words” for those who wish to delve deeper. By identifying the linguistic domains where you need support, you can focus your efforts on enhancing your knowledge in those specific areas, ultimately leading to more effective and confident literacy instruction.
