TitleNCELA Newsletter: AccELLerate 3.1, Fall 2010
Body
NCELA is pleased to announce the publication of a new edition of its quarterly review AccELLerate!, in which we continue to focus on assessment of English learners (ELs). In the previous issue, the focus was on current policies, accommodations, and promising practices and features of assessment. The papers in this fall issue focus on more specific assessment topics that show promise in developing assessment systems that work for ELs.
