| Title | New Book: Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs |
| Body | From http://www.caslonpublishing.com/Assessment_and_Accountability_in_Language_Education_Programs.htm Assessment and Accountability in Language Education Programs: A Guide for Administrators and Teachers By Margo Gottlieb and Diep Nguyen Published by Caslon Publishing and Consulting This book provides a field-tested approach to accountability for ELLs. Gottlieb and Nguyen propose the BASIC model, an acronym for Balanced Assessment and Accountability System, Inclusive and Comprehensive. This model is research-based and grounded in practice; it relies on multiple forms of assessment data and yields valid and reliable evidence of language learners’ growth and achievement over time. This guide models how to collect, analyze, and use evidence of students’ language development and academic achievement to: 1. Respond to external accountability requirements 2. Guide classroom instruction 3. Improve programs for language learners 4. Inform local policy making 5. Strengthen advocacy efforts The book includes worksheets that guide administrators and teachers’ efforts to develop and implement research-based assessment and accountability frameworks that are appropriate for their language education program (dual language, transitional bilingual, English as a second language/ESL).
