Methods and Strategies: Alternative Assessments for English Language Learners
Fri, Oct 10, 2014 9:17 PM
Good Read
I was drawn to this article because I struggle with how to assess my ELL students effectively. I had one student previously that I would routinely excuse from testing because I felt like it would be unfair to test him. I knew that he knew more, but I felt ill-prepared to draw the knowledge from him. The article focused on the use of drawings and real-world experiences in order to make connections (such as field trips). The article suggested using the drawings over time so that the students can show growth. You can grade these using a checklist. The students need to complete four drawings over the course of a year and you can interview them about the drawings as well. This was very helpful to me and I plan to use it with my ELL students who struggle next time.
