In this two part workshop, we focus on the importance of using informative and summative assessments to guide and improve instruction. We consider the various purposes for assessment, such as determining student placement, monitoring learner development, and informing instructional plans. We look at the different ways that assessment data can benefit ESOL programs, teachers, and learners, as well as the roles that learners can play in tracking their own progress. Activities include designing formative and summative assessments, practicing corrective feedback techniques, and making instructional decisions using assessment data. The measurement of adult ESOL learning goals will be connected to further educational opportunities addressed within the College and Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education.
