Formative
Key formative assessment practices for ELLs and application to RTI
Dr. Rebecca Kopriva,Wisconsin Center for Educational Research
How can we help content teachers improve assessments for their ELLs?
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Reflect on Our Practices:What are the Challenges and Successes
in our Districts?
Let’s chat about what help we can provide to help you in your work with English Learners.
Questions will be asked about how practices discussed in our sessions are applied in your school district.
Share your input in the chat box. We will then explain what Professional Learning topics are “in the works” and use today’s input – from you! – to help guide us in developing offerings for the 2012 school year.
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
What challenges do regular education teachers face when instituting GENERAL “best practices”?
In what ways do you help regular education teachers understand and use ELL strategies and modifications in their lessons?
Do you face difficulties in delivering ESOL instruction? In what ways?
ContentInstruction
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Literacy Interventions
How can we use the Common Core concept of Literacy across the Curriculum to help our ELLs in the content areas?
Is differentiated reading instruction truly taking place in Tier 1? If not, how can ESOL teachers help?
In-depth vocabulary instruction is key to developing ELL literacy skills. To ensure this, what changes need to take place in our teaching practices?
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Culturally Responsive Intervention
Do classroom teachers take into account ELL students’ backgrounds? Is this impacting the number of ELLs with Special Ed referrals?
There is limited research available on culturally-sensitive interventions. Have you discovered or implemented any unique interventions that appear to have helped your ELLs progress in their mainstream classrooms?
In your opinion, where do you think we should focus training so that the RTI process is better implemented for ELLs?
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Summative Assessment
We learned that ACCESS Reading & Writing scores were strong predictors of content assessment scores in reading and writing, but also mathematics.
Oral proficiency does NOT predict content performance…are our content teachers still struggling with this concept?
How can we use this information to help content teachers make instructional decisions? How are ACCESS scores currently used in your district? What practices could be integrated into your district’s ESOL program that might help you work with teachers and students’ ACCESS results?
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Formative Assessment
Good formative assessment for ELLs “teases” language out of the content testing. Do our content teachers do this? Are they aware that this would help our ELLs show what they know?
We learned about using methods (tasks) and strategies (cognitive complexity levels) to adapt assessments and how to develop a “toolkit” for adaptations. Think about where you might begin this process in your school (a grade level? a content area? by engaging administrators?) What steps would you need to take to get the “Adaptation Toolkit” off the ground? How can we at the DOE help you with this goal?

Next Steps for Professional Learning
• Collaborating with RESAs for extension of professional learning opportunities
• Continue to offer Title III and ESOL related sessions at area conferences
• Collaborating with Georgia’s ESOL professionals to highlight best practices in the classroom
• Increased number of Elluminate webinars on topics of interest and importance
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Potential Elluminate Topics
• Best practices & instructional strategies for teaching ELLs in content classes
• ELLs and Common Core Georgia Performance Standards
• The importance of Academic Language
• Providing a continuum of services for ELLs with disabilities
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Potential Elluminate Topics

• Integrating the WIDA Standards with Georgia Performance Standards to differentiate instruction for ELLs at varying levels of proficiency
• Teaching content teachers how to modify their assessments for ELLs at varying levels of proficiency
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
Potential Elluminate Topics
• Introduction to Title III & ESOL for new Title III Directors
• Cross-cultural awareness and how it impacts teaching and learning
• Cultural diversity
• TransACT and parental communications
• Programs and projects to increase parental involvement
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
