Assessment Description
It is important for teachers to understand the types and purposes of various state assessments for ELLs and bilingual/dual language learners. Assessment results guide placement and inform instruction.
Create a 10-15 slide presentation in digital format for your colleagues that describes various state assessments for ELLs and bilingual/dual language learners and how these assessments are utilized. Your presentation should include:
The English language proficiency (ELP) assessment (such as ACCESS, ELDER, AZELLA, ELPAC or TELPAS) mandated in your state.
Examples of other standardized, norm-referenced, and high-stakes tests.
The purpose for each assessment.
Examples of educational consequences associated with mandated testing.
Include presenter’s notes, in-text citations, and a reference slide that contains at least three scholarly sources to support this assignment.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
