This text explains the assessment of English language learners as a means to promote equity and achievement for all students. It describes the purposes of assessment; a model that focuses on assessment as, for, and of learning; the role of culturally and linguistically responsive schools; the influence of content and language standards; assessment of language in language arts, math, science, and social studies, as well as oral language, literacy development, and learning; self-assessment and reflection as learning; the role of assessment in standards-referenced decision making; and feedback, grading, and reporting. This edition has been updated to reflect the increased recognition of academic language as key to language and conceptual development and assessment; the increased role of technology in assessment; the inclusion of multiliteracies and its measurement in literacy; the influence of academic content standards on curriculum, instruction, and assessment; and the roles of students, teachers, and school leaders in the design and implementation of assessment.
