Assessing the full capabilities of your multilingual learners
Assessment as, for, and of learning complement effective curricular
and instructional practices, however, the complexities of
assessment for multilingual students are too-often overlooked and
misunderstood. What if multilingual learners, teachers, and
educational leaders all had opportunities to plan for and use
assessment data in multiple languages? Imagine the linguistic,
academic, and cultural reservoirs we could tap to highlight what
our multilingual learners know and can do. Assessment in Multiple
Languages: A Handbook for School and District Leaders shows how
superintendents, principals, directors, coaches, and other
educational leaders can more accurately portray the academic,
language, and social-emotional development of multilingual
students. As a companion to Classroom Assessment in Multiple
Languages, this book illustrates how the assessment cycle unfolds
at school and district levels. Together the two books provide
comprehensive guidance for enacting linguistically and culturally
sustainable assessment in multiple languages in K-12 settings.
Grounded in leading-edge research, with an emphasis on instilling
equity and social justice in assessment practices, this book:
justifies the legitimacy of assessment in multiple languages
showcases examples from federal to classroom levels provides
practical guidance and tools for schoolwide and district level
assessment applies to any and all programs with multilingual
learners whether in dual-language immersion, bilingual, or
monolingual settings. Written by leading multilingual education and
assessment authority Margo Gottlieb, this guide will help
educational leaders highlight the true capabilities of multilingual
learners.
