Hello there! Some exciting news to share: synchronous rooms on Extempore now come equipped with our…
Extempore Commons, our robust library of importable practice and assessment content for both ESL and world language, is an integral part of the Extempore platform. For more, watch the short overview video below.
With Commons, you can use the filters to find the precise assessment or practice that you are looking for. So whether that's a novice-level French warm-up or simulated conversation practice for AP exams, you'll be able to find whatever you need.
ESL Commons
Within the commons tab in your account, you'll also see a tab for ESL Commons. This section contains assessments aligned to high-stakes exams like TELPAS and WIDA ACCESS. Filter by grade, domain, and relevant tags to find the precise practice or high stakes assessment that you need.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Commons
Log in to your Extempore account and click on the "Commons" tab on the top menu bar.
Use the filters to narrow down your search, whether you're looking for a specific language, level, or mode of communication.
Once you've found what you need, click on the tile, scroll down, and click "import." You'll be prompted to log in, add the assessment to one of your classes, and then set a start and end date.
Upon importing, you can then go into the assessment from your Extempore account and modify it however you please.

Extempore Commons is not limited to our content created in-house. For institutions seeking to standardize their curriculum and house assessments in one place, we offer Organization Commons: a private library of assessments accessible only to members of your institution. The process is simple.
Organization Commons, available exclusively to paid accounts, can be set up upon request.
Once created, administrators and/or teachers can share assessments across an organization and import valuable shared by colleagues.
Content can be adjusted or updated as needed, and we can always help with additions and removals.
