State Assessment Policy and Practice for English Language Learners presents three significant studies, each examining a different aspect of states' strategies for including English language learners in state assessments. *an Analysis of State Assessment Policies Regarding Accommodations for English Language Learners; *a Survey and Description of Test Translation Practices; and *an Examination of State Practices for Reporting Participation and Performance of English Language Learners in State Assessments. With the rise in population of English language learners and the subsequent stepped-up legislative focus on this student population over the past decade, states have been challenged to include English language learners in state assessment programs. Until now, the little data available on states' policies and practices for meeting this challenge has been embedded in various reports and professional journals and scattered across the Internet. This volume offers, for the first time, a focused examination of states' assessment policies and practices regarding English language learners. The three studies were supported by OELA, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement for Limited English Proficient Students. State Assessment Policy and Practice for English Language Learners is of interest to researchers and professionals involved with the assessment of English language learners; state- and district-level policy makers; and academics, teacher educators, and graduate students in a number of fields, including educational and psychological assessment, testing and measurement, bilingual education, English as a second language, and second language acquisition.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR I, David Sarpong Kyere was born in Asokore - Koforidua in the Eastern Region of Ghana, West Africa. Attended the Seventh Day Adventist Demonstration School in the same town and then Pope John Secondary School and Junior Seminary in Effiduase. I received my bachelor's degree in the Kwame Nkrumah University Science and Technology where I majored in Renewable Natural Resources Management. I then came to the University of California, Riverside where I did a post graduate certification program in Global Business Management and Administration. Afterwards I went to the Business Industrial Resource Training Center in Chicago. Currently I am at the Bronx Community College doing a prerequisite for New York Earth Science Teacher Certification, majoring in the Earth Systems and Environmental Science then transferring to City College of New York for MSc in Science Education. I am also the founder of the Jehovah Rapha fellowship, a student organization in my former university in Ghana. I worked with the Jehovah Rapha Foundation, an organization helping people living with HIV/AIDS and orphans and vulnerable Children (OVC's). In this career I partnered with organizations such as the Ghana Aids Commission, The World Vision, and The United State Agency for International Development. I have really come into a lot of contact with children and students and education. My passion is to teach in the high schools. This book "YES I CAN" is designed to help the high school students in their academic, career and social life so they can become scholars and achievers in future . It shows how students can become personal in their studies by having their own timetable, strategies on how to learn, effective means of using their time, planning their future career and destiny and other social issues relevant to their well being.
