Description

This course addresses assessments of English learners (ELs) in ESL/Bilingual classrooms and introduces specific practices that support fair and equitable assessment of ELs. Students become familiar with assessment principles and concepts (validity, reliability, proficiency, dominance, norm- and criterion- referenced testing), social policy concerns, and types of assessment in the context of Massachusetts curricular frameworks. Students apply these concepts to assessment design and other classroom practices.
