EDS 778N - Assessment of English Learners

3 Credit(s) This course examines the assessment of English Learners (ELs) for a variety of purposes including documenting the effects of instruction on student learning and using assessment to inform instruction. Students will design performance assessments and indicators for second language learners in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) classrooms. Students will also become familiar with placement and content-area tests that meet state requirements and will design original assessments focused on content and language development designed to measure academic achievement for linguistically diverse students. Three lecture hours per week. Field-based assignments are required.
