Order InstructionsTeachers are missing major opportunities to improve student learning and achievement if assessments are viewed only as final measurements of performance that have no bearing on future instructional planning. ELLs benefit from effective classroom-based instructional and assessment practices, where teachers thoughtfully and strategically plan the connection between assessment and instruction.
