The classroom teacher employed a variety of informal assessments to determine if students were understanding the information (i.e., gestures, verbal response, written response). Another important aspect of assessment, highlighted in the video, is the collaboration between the teacher, reading specialist, and an ESOL teacher. By looking at the breakdown of questions (item analysis), these educators discussed potential language barriers (vocabulary terms) that likely contributed to students not answering the question correctly. Having a conversation with peers makes for a stronger educational team to better help struggling students.]]> 2023-09-29 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156228 mauramusso https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156231 This 45-minute webcast is a thorough introduction to assessment for teachers of English language learners. Dr. Lorraine Valdez Pierce will discuss performance-based standardized assessments; assessment as a tool for informing instruction; use of assessment to reinforce reading comprehension; and student self-assessment and self-monitoring.
Dr. Pierce will also provide practical advice on how ESL and classroom teachers can collaborate when assessing English language learners and making decisions based on those assessments. Tips on record keeping and rubrics are also included.

If students are given autonomy in measuring their own learning, they will be more motivated in the learning process. NOTE: This podcast is better geared towards middle/high school teachers/students, but the strategies and suggestions could be adapted to students in lower grades. ]]> 2023-09-29 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156232 mauramusso https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156233 2023-09-29 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156233 mauramusso https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156235 Screencastify seems like a good option for providing feedback for Expanding and Commanding ELLs.]]> 2023-09-29 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156235 mauramusso https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156239 The purpose of this video is to help you know and identify the 5 different levels that your ELL students might be in, as well as some quick tips on differentiating for their needs. ]]> 2023-09-29 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156239 mauramusso https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156241 Guidance of what and how to plan with NYSESLAT Targets of Measurement of language in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, aligned to state standards. ]]> 2023-09-29 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156241 mauramusso https://padlet.com/mauramusso/2og4k5qgv2pux9mf/wish/2726156242 How can school teams improve the accuracy of identification of ELLs for disabilities—especially for language and literacy-related disabilities?
