Testing / Assessment

PreK–12 ESL Assessment

Featured Project

CAL works with the WIDA Consortium to create and enhance large scale language and academic assessments for English language learners (ELLs) in grades K–12 in order to meet the legislated demands of No Child Left Behind. Learn more.

The Working Group on ELL Policy
The Working Group on ELL Policy is a group of researchers with extensive experience in the education of English language learners (ELLs) and a substantial understanding of the research on effective strategies for this population.

The Working Group’s mission is to bring a research perspective to developing recommendations, share information, and foster dialogue among educators, policy makers, and other stakeholders about current policy issues affecting ELLs.
