Abstract

The topic of assessment often weighs heavily on the shoulders of many teachers. More specifically, educators in general have concerns about gathering appropriate and adequate assessment data from a variety of sources for the teaching and learning of English learners (ELs). In addition, breaking down that data to find meaning and devising instructional changes from such analysis should not be a solo job. For this reason, we promote the idea of joint assessment practices for the sake of ELs. In doing so, we have created an assessment framework and liken co-assessment to designing, building, and enjoying a house. In the following reading, we invite you to use this metaphor to think about co-assessment as (1) designing and laying the foundation of a house, (2) building the house, (3) moving in, and (4) enjoying it.
