Language Assessment for an Effective Classroom: Principles and Practice
August 9-10, 2018
Center for Applied Linguistics
Washington, DC

The two-day institute will feature the CAL Assessment Toolkit developed by CAL's subject matter experts based on decades of research and practice. The toolkit provides a comprehensive framework as well as techniques and strategies for assessment development and use. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of underlying principles of assessment (such as validity, reliability, item formats, cultural bias and sensitivity and more) and leave equipped with a variety of research-based practices for assessment development and adaptation. Portions of each day will be reserved for reflection and guided practice.

This useful and enlightening institute is designed for K-12 content and ESL/ELL educators. Classroom teachers, as well as coordinators, specialists, and instructional coaches are encouraged to attend. District level staff and administrators involved in assessment development will also greatly benefit from the information and practical implications of this institute.
