| Title | New Reports: Issues in Assessing English Language Learners |
| Body | From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2008/02/new_reports_iss.html The National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) has released two parts of a three part series of reports on Issues in Assessing English Language Learners. The reports review the current literature and policy regarding ELL assessment in order to inform practitioners of the key issues to consider in their validation processes. Drawn from a review of literature and practice, the authors developed a set of guidelines and recommendations for practitioners to use as a resource to improve their ELL assessment systems and published them as a series of three reports. The first component of the series contains pertinent literature related to assessing ELL students. The areas being reviewed include validity theory, the construct of ELP assessments, and the effects of accommodations in the assessment of ELL students' content knowledge. The second component of the series provides a comprehensive picture of states' current policies related to ELL assessment. The areas reviewed include the procedures of ELL identification and redesignation, the characteristics of English language proficiency assessments, including validity information, and the use of accommodations in the assessment of content knowledge. The reports are available for download at http://www.cse.ucla.edu/products/reports.asp . |
