FDSED 1066 - CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT FOR ESL PROGRAM SPECIALISTS


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In this course students will learn to apply principles of ELL curriculum design and teacher-based assessment. Course readings, assignments and class discussions are implemented to guide the student in the understanding of how to best teach English language learners by adapting the established curriculum, or by creating a curriculum from scratch. In this course, curriculum is conceived of as an instructional process which includes preparation, instruction, and assessment. A foundational idea in this course is that assessment can and should be integrated into instruction. As such, you will learn how to sequence instruction in response to students' performance on a variety of authentic assessments. You will also learn approaches to environment and needs analysis and will experience how these analyses can inform teaching and curriculum design.
