While there are more online and digital teaching resources available to educators today than ever before, fossilized teaching practices and institutional restrictions often lead to oversimplification of assessment practices to the detriment of our students. This workshop will discuss traditional assessment practices, including their purpose and metrics, and explore research-backed methods of evolving assessment to meet the needs of today’s English-language learners (ELLs). By establishing standards-based assessments and utilizing tools such as skill inventories, reporting forms, and comments, educators can accurately measure student progress and adapt their lessons to meet individual needs. The efficacy of practices such as accepting late work and allowing students to resubmit work will also be discussed. Attendees can expect an engaging and thoughtful discussion on the topic and should be prepared to participate.
