Domain 4. Assessment
In order to meet the TESOL/NCATE standards for the Assessment domain, candidates must "demonstrate understanding of issues and concepts of assessment and use standards-based procedures with ELLs."
Currently, I am enrolled in E634 Assessment. Upon my completion of this class in Spring 2014, I will show I have achieved the necessary Domain 4 Assessment requirements through the following examples:
Standard 4.a. Issues of Assessment for English Language Learners
"Candidates demonstrate understanding of various assessment issues as they affect ELLs, such as accountability, bias, special education testing, language proficiency, and accommodations in formal testing situations."
Standard 4.b. Language Proficiency Assessment
"Candidates know and can use a variety of standards-based language proficiency instruments to show language growth and to inform their instruction. They demonstrate understanding of their uses for identification, placement, and reclassification of ELLs."
Standard 4.c. Classroom-Based Assessment for ESL
"Candidates know and can use a variety of performance-based assessment tools and techniques to inform instruction for in the classroom."
