EECLD 6012 Assessment for Equity & Inclusion of Multilingual Learners

Appropriate assessment is essential to understanding and documenting standards-based learning and language development for multilingual learners (MLs) and to distinguish learning (dis)abilities from language differences. Participants gain the skills to administer language assessments, monitor progress, interpret results, and incorporate them into instruction. Potential linguistic and cultural biases in assessment instruments including limitations of standardized tests are analyzed. Students are required to practice with alternative assessment measures including case study, formative, and other authentic assessments.
