ED 553G - Assessment of English Language Learners

Credits: 4
This course will examine a variety of assessment approaches. It will include those associated with Massachusetts mandated state testing programs (MELA-O and MEPA), as well as other formal and informal assessment instruments used for placement, progress monitoring, and summative evaluations. Students will select, administer and interpret assessment results and will understand normal variations in proficiency. Progress in skills and literacy development will be aligned to the Massachusetts State English Language Proficiency Benchmarks and Outcomes for English Language Learners (June 2003).
