Instruction & Assessment

Here you'll find a variety of resources that focus on classroom instruction . These materials range from support for big-picture planning— such as unit power planning, curriculum mapping, or planning for integration of a cultural component—to more specific lesson planning resources for instruction and assessment, such as sheltering instruction with G.L.A.D., planning with language objectives, Spanish language assessments, core reading in two languages, or using assessment data from the DRA2 or EDL2. Don't forget to check Soleado—Promising Practices from the Field, as well as the DLeNM Monograph Series, for additional information on these to pics.
