ECEA 529 - Assessment of Young Language Learners 3 Credit Hours
This course will address the specific assessment techniques for use with all young children from birth through third grade including young children with disabilities and English Language Learners. This course will stress formal and informal assessment techniques and strategies needed for making decisions regarding individual and group development, diagnosis and placement, learning, curricula, and instructional approaches and modifications appropriate for all young children and their families. Candidates will examine specific formal assessments, diagnostic instruments, data interpretation from case studies, as well as explore considerations unique to the assessment of young children. An emphasis will be placed on language-based assessments for English Language Learners and the development, administration, scoring, accommodations and modifications, and interpretation of assessments that are fair and valid for ELL students. Candidates will complete the training needed to administer the ACCESS testing for ELL students. Assessments that differentiate between language differences and cognitive differences will be emphasized in order to avoid the disproportionate rate of ELL students wrongly placed into Special Education classrooms.
