English Learner Literacy Development through Formative Assessment of Oral Language

Alison Bailey, Associate Professor in the Department of Education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Margaret Heritage, Assistant Director for Professional Development at the National Center for Research Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) at UCLA, will present an approach to literacy development for English learners which stresses the kinds of oral language that are foundational to reading. They will discuss formative assessment of language skills as a key element in both oral language and reading development, and provide practical illustrations of how formative assessment can be used in the classroom.
