Accommodations
to identify whether or not the child is exposed to languages
other than English in the home environment
should determine all other languages
the child may be hearing as well
as the parents' first language
needs to be administered in the parent or guardian's primary language
Literacy skills from the child's first language can translate to and
facilitate the acquisition of English language literacy skills
(August, Calderon, & Carlo, 2001).
not always easy to assess, and a team
approach is needed.
family literacy can enhance students' chances for academic success
When a childe's English proficiency is determined to
be insufficient by teachers/specialists
When ELLs, in addition to being second language
learners, have separate educational needs that
warrant accommodations
Common accommodations
extra time for testing
read test instructions aloud
make sure students comprehend the instructions
read the writing and math test items aloud
extra breaks during testing
a testing environment with fewer
students and potential distractions
Culturally-free testing -> Doesn't exist
Instead, a testing should be
culturally-responsive, because a
test is to assess content area
Supporting Schoolwide Culturally Responsive
Practice Video (not specifically about assessment, but is
applicable in general)
In a school visit last year, there was a student who had
previous school experience and grade-level content knowledge
yet had low English reading skills. So the ESL teacher 1) altered
vocabulary used in the instruction in accordance with his level
and 2) read the instruction outloud for him.
I think almost all classroom activities can function as authentic assessments as
long as the teacher has solid criteria or rubrics. This includes role-playing,
discussion, portfolios, retelling stories, and so forth.
Being culturally
unbiased
Providing sufficient details so that it
can be understood without
understanding of culture
Personal example: In a test I took, there was a narrative about
somebody's wedding that was held in a church. One of the choices said
"She had a typical wedding" and I didn't choose it because church
wedding didn't sound typical to me. From this experience, I can tell test
administrators should be careful with languages like "typical, normal,
traditional" and so forth.
