Assessment of English Learners

Catalog description

Participants learn how to design and select assessments that are appropriate for K-12 English Learners, how to administer assessments with fidelity, and how to interpret assessment results. Students develop a richer understanding of how assessments can drive classroom instruction, as well as an understanding of the importance of a culturally and linguistically responsive approach to Response to Intervention (RTI). Finally, students learn how to distinguish between second language acquisition issues in learning and the need for special education services.
