Topics addressed include the assessment of language proficiency and academic achievement in EB students. Issues of effectiveness, validity, and fairness in the testing of EB populations are addressed to emphasize a critical examination of the purpose, use, methods, and appropriate selection of assessments to match the student population, context, and content.  \nSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES  \nUpon successful completion of this course, students will:  \n1. synthesize knowledge of the history, major approaches and current issues and trends in the assessment of bilingual learners  \n2. demonstrate an understanding of the challenges (e.g., cultural and linguistic bias; political, social and psychological factors) with assessment and accountability for EB students  \n3. understand how language proficiency affects EB students’ performance on different assessments  \n4. apply a decision-making framework to select appropriate methods of assessment for EB students which includes identifying the purpose, use, methods, and instrument  \n5. demonstrate understanding of various types of assessments including formative and summative  \n6. apply theories of holistic bilingualism and translanguaging to assessment practices to understand EB students’ full linguistic and academic potential  \n[7.](7. be)[ be](7. be) able to advocate for appropriate test-use policies and practices for EB students  \nCOURSE ORGANIZATION ON BLACKBOARD  \nThis course is designed using a modular format—that is, each week is “packaged” as a single module so that all the materials, lecture notes, submission areas, readings are in one area for a given week. This course runs on a weekly schedule, Monday through Sunday. The class sessions for each week are labeled by week number and start date in the home page of our course site. In each of the weekly class sessions, you will find: the topic(s) and objectives for the week, the required readings, a summary of what tasks are due (and when) . Clicking within each week, will provide embedded links with headings to readings, videos, assignments with directions and rubrics, and related class materials.  \nREQUIRED TEXT:  \n• Mahoney, K.
