Participants will:
Become familiar with best practice guidelines for designing and conducting an unbiased language and communication assessment
Become familiar with the DCN framework to conduct language and communication assessments. Participants will receive copies of the forms used at the center to guide future assessments.
Become familiar with additional resources to support and inform assessments of Dual Language Learners
