Description

Participants will deepen their knowledge of formative assessment processes centered on Multilingual/English Learner students.  Participants will explore student oral and written language samples using the California ELD standards-aligned Look-Fors Tool as a model that could be adopted to use with their ELD state standards.  The purpose of this tool is to construct meaningful feedback and assess learning based on the student’s proficiency level.  Participants will discuss their experiences through this process and will take home a grade-span specific Look-Fors Tool developed to enhance and maximize focused classroom observations to support student growth and learning.
