ELL 562 - Assessment of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Learners for P-12 Teachers


This course provides a foundation for teachers to understand and address the relevant cultural and equity issues that linguistically diverse students face in U.S. public schools. The emphasis is on culturally and linguistically sustaining approaches to instruction, assessment, and professional collaboration. Specific attention is given to culturally relevant teaching, equity pedagogy and differentiated instruction for ESOL. The course provides an introduction to assessment from theory to practice for linguistically diverse students. Participating in a case study analysis allows practicing teachers to develop abilities to observe, reflect and employ informal assessments to better understand and support the learning and development of an English learner.
