This online course aims to support schools to embed effective practices for assessing the English language proficiency of pupils using EAL.

Suitable for those who have responsibility for leading on EAL assessment and are looking for effective ways of embedding EAL assessment across the school, this practical course looks at:
• Policies and Systems: how EAL assessment can be successfully integrated into existing school policies and systems
• Key Roles and Responsibilities: who is best placed to carry out different aspects of the EAL assessment process
• Continuing Professional Development (CPD): what CPD is needed for relevant school staff in order to ensure EAL assessment is fully embedded.
