Topic 6 DQ 1

DQ1:

A teacher with ELL/bilingual students in her classroom comes to you complaining that too much time is dedicated to assessing students and it takes a significant amount of time away from instruction. Provide a response to the teacher that helps make the connection between assessment and instruction and explains the benefits of regular assessment of ELL/bilingual learners. 

DQ2:

As an educator, you may encounter a time when you feel an ELL needs additional accommodations on a standardized assessment, but they are not allowed according to state guidelines. Review COE’s Professional Dispositions of Learners and share which statements have the biggest influence on you in deciding whether to help the student or follow the mandates.
