Using a template found that outlines the components of a case study (e.g. chapter 11 in your textbook, Instructional assessment of English language learners in the K8 Classroom by Brantley, 2007), as a reference guide, participants will be expected to conduct a qualitative mini-research project in Case Study format. The case study will be designed with three major sections: (a) Background History of the Student, (b) Student Comprehensive Assessment Analysis, and (c) Instructional Implications of Findings and Recommendations. An introduction and conclusion should be included to ensure that the reader has context about your case study. The duration of the case study should be limited to approximately four (4) weeks. If you do not have an ELL as a regular student, it is acceptable to identify an ELL from another classroom and work with a cooperating teacher to complete this assignment.
