The primary goal of this course is to begin to apply the skills that students will need for working with English language learners (ELLs). This course prepares bilingual school psychologist candidates to conduct bilingual psychoeducational assessments. For bilingual school counselor candidates, this course fosters an understanding of the bilingual assessment process through experiential assessment activities and assignments. All students will learn to report ELL assessment data in a culturally responsive and ethical fashion.
