Assessing English Language Learners [Excerpt]

The notion of assessment is expanding! In the updated new edition to her classic bestseller Assessing English Language Learners, Margo Gottlieb introduces an assessment model as, for, and of learning that revolves around the involvement of students, teachers, and administrators as the primary decision makers. In this model, five forms of assessment create a continuum across these three approaches. Download this sneak preview chapter to see how these three approaches can occur simultaneously at the classroom, grade, and district levels to promote more equitable assessment practices for English language learners.
