Navigating Assessment with Linguistically Diverse Learners
Description

The thesis of this book revolves around the idea that linguistically diverse learners may engage in critical thinking in ways that we may not anticipate. Students who are learning in an additional language do not need to "catch up." Assessment should instead measure the new ways that students are interacting with the world. This book helps you discover the many ways to help students develop as critically thinking readers, writers and speakers.
There is a scarcity of research addressing literacy among linguistically diverse learners within math and science. The information contained in this book will hopefully advance a dialogue between teachers and linguistically diverse students as they read and write multiple genres together. This book also encourages teachers, family, and community members to come together to form supportive environments where best practices are fostered.
Some of the questions addressed by this book:
1. How do I determine a student's strengths and needs if he or she is not talking in class in any language?
2. Do I teach monolingual and multilingual learners to read in similar ways?
3. How can I support my students as they read math word problems?
4. What do students need to know about the structures of science texts?
5. How should we develop math and science literacy assessments?
6. Should I have specific language goals for students as speakers?

3.8.2.4 - 4. After the student was finished creating the setting, I picked up a character and moved it up and down while saying, "Show me." I was hoping to encourage the student to show me her understandings of the structural elements of the story. [Seite 21]

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
