Assessing for Success

The content of the workshop can be transferred to a variety of contexts, and will emphasize planning, instruction, and assessment of ELLs.
Objectives
- learn how to construct valid and reliable assessments to get a more accurate picture of what ELLs can do across academic content and contexts.
- explore the best ways to accommodate for diverse linguistic abilities and learning styles.
- discuss how to use assessment results to guide instruction
