Standards-Based Instruction and Assessment for English Language Learners
Author: Mary Ann Lachat
Publisher: Corwin Press
ISBN: 1483360512
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Provide a superior education for students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds! Education reform initiatives emphasize that all students must be held to the same standards of academic achievement. Yet assessment and instructional practices in American schools were neither created nor designed to be responsive to the range of diversity represented in today′s classroom. Standards-Based Instruction and Assessment for English Language Learners explores the issues that must be addressed to ensure the academic success of English Language Learners (ELLs). Providing an overview of what standards-based educational reforms means for the fast-growing population of ELLs in America′s schools, author Mary Ann Lachat offers practical guidelines to help school administrators and classroom teachers implement effective practices for culturally diverse learners. The manual includes useful tools for conducting a schoolwide assessment and designing professional development plans for teachers. Bridging research to policy and practice implications, this unique manual examines The characteristics of ELLs in America′s schools How language and culture affect learning Language development issues for ELLs What teachers need to know about assessment for ELLs Standards-based learning practices that support the success of ELLs Help fulfill our nation′s unprecedented commitment to educate all children to be effective thinkers, communicators, and problem-solvers. In increasingly diverse classrooms, an understanding of standards-based instruction and assessment for ELLs is essential for achieving both excellence and equity in our education system.Designed primarily for principals, classroom teachers, directors of bilingual education, Title 1 coordinators, and other administrators responsible for ELLs, this innovative volume is also an extraordinary resource for bilingual education and ESL teachers.

Grading the Nation's Report Card
Author: Committee on the Evaluation of National and State Assessments of Educational Progress
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309524830
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Since the late 1960s, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)--the nation's report card--has been the only continuing measure of student achievement in key subject areas. Increasingly, educators and policymakers have expected NAEP to serve as a lever for education reform and many other purposes beyond its original role. Grading the Nation's Report Card examines ways NAEP can be strengthened to provide more informative portrayals of student achievement and the school and system factors that influence it. The committee offers specific recommendations and strategies for improving NAEP's effectiveness and utility, including: Linking achievement data to other education indicators. Streamlining data collection and other aspects of its design. Including students with disabilities and English-language learners. Revamping the process by which achievement levels are set. The book explores how to improve NAEP framework documents--which identify knowledge and skills to be assessed--with a clearer eye toward the inferences that will be drawn from the results. What should the nation expect from NAEP? What should NAEP do to meet these expectations? This book provides a blueprint for a new paradigm, important to education policymakers, professors, and students, as well as school administrators and teachers, and education advocates.
