In High Stakes Testing, I have linked to three articles I found that make me think about how high stakes testing affects students whose native language isn't English.
high stakes assessment and ells is a position paper for Delta Kappa Gamma. It suggests culturally and linguistically responsive instructional practices.
measuring nothing in a study of ells is a paper describing a truly awful study of how to accommodate testing for ELLs, that nevertheless resulted in testing policy in Colorado.
Utah-specific data on language and test scores. This paper shows Utah-specific data, from the UALPA and the UPASS, two tests that are no longer given. As newer tests are used, I await with anticipation their results.
