The book includes: a focus on academic language use in every discipline, from mathematics to social studies, within and across language domains -- emphasis on linguistically and culturally responsive assessment as a key driver for measuring academic achievement -- a reconceptualization of assessment as, for, and of learning -- reflection questions to stimulate discussion around assessment policies and practices to maximize opportunities for teacher input and student engagement. This book is an essential resource for preservice and in-service teachers, educator teams, and school leaders striving toward equity in every classroom.
