ESL 670 Identification, Assessment, and Culturally Responsive Practices for ELL
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. Candidates will explore ways students’ in-school and out-of-school experiences should be valued and connected to new learning through an asset-based approach to planning and instruction. Candidates will have the opportunity to develop strategies for 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.
