Assessment Description
Oftentimes standards-based content assessments can inadvertently assess things beyond the intended content knowledge. For example, they may be assessing English language skills/proficiency or contain cultural test bias. As an ELL/bilingual specialist, you may be called upon to help grade-level or subject area teachers accommodate assignments and/or assessments in various content areas.
Using the “ELL Assessment Accommodations” template, indicate a grade-level range (pre-K-2, 3-5, 6-8, or 9-12) of your choice on the “Assessment Accommodations Chart.” Copy and paste the classroom assessment sample items for math, science, English language arts, and social studies/history.
Describe an accommodation that could be appropriate for ELL/bilingual learners in 25-50 words per sample item and provide a 50-75 word rationale justifying how each accommodation ensures that standards-based content knowledge is being assessed while scaffolding for the linguistic and cultural needs of ELL/bilingual learners. If necessary, refer to grade-level academic content standards to determine the type of essential learning that is being assessed by the sample items.
Support your template with 3-5 scholarly resources.
While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide.
