Description:
As the number of dual language students in our schools is increasing rapidly, there is increased pressure to provide a valid assessment of these students. The focus of this professional development is to provide a framework for the assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse students and discuss relevant issues and methods of assessment. This PD will include an exploration of the characteristics of the dual-language student and tools that you can use to determine if they present with a difference or a disorder.
Presenter:
Rebeca Rivera
