Assessing English Language Learners - Create a digital newsletter

Assessing English Language Learners

Create a digital newsletter for families of ELLs to explain assessment practices. Consider how you communicate the information for non-native English-speaking families. Include the following in your newsletter:

• Description of each type of assessment (diagnostic, formative, and summative), including how and when each will be used to support English language instruction
• Explanation of alignment of the assessments to ELP and content standards and the use of assessment data to determine student progress in both language and content
• Description of testing accommodations for ELLs
• Discussion of how the data from assessments will be used to inform instructional decisions and planning, including enrichment and interventions
• Identify strategies to communicate timely and meaningful feedback with students and families, including student self-reflection strategies

Support your newsletter with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
