This script is from a conversation that was hosted by Education Week on April 9th. The “live chat” addressed the problem that educators have struggled with for years – how to put into practice the assessment and accountability requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act for English language learners. The conversation features Margo Gottlieb, director of assessment and evaluation at the Illinois Resource Center, who shared his ideas on what it takes to create English-language-proficiency standards and assessments to improve learning within schools that abide by the No Child Left Behind Act [description summarized from source].
