ESL 542 Identification, Assessment and Evaluation of ELL Students
This course will introduce teacher candidates to the processes through which learners are identified for ELL services. Candidates will critically consider the ways our current assessment system could be more culturally responsive for our ELL students, including the strengths and weaknesses of various tests. Topics will also include ongoing progress monitoring, assessment, and evaluation on curriculum-based assessments for ELL students, and the critical role of collaboration with general education, special education, and other service providers to create an effective learning environment for ELL students. Candidates will also explore the process through which students can be exited from ELL services.
