Assessing English Language Learners (Student Assessment Series)

Assessing English Language Learners by Lorraine Valdez-Pierce offers advice on testing students just learning the English language from the teacher's perspective. The author stresses the appropriate use of large-scale standardized testing, but focuses on classroom assessment techniques for use with English language learners (ELL) as well. You'll find strategies for developing, scoring and interpreting classroom assessments that provide greater insight into the individual instructional needs of each child.
