This classroom-ready resource intentionally focuses on those classroom assessment practices that will prove effective with CLD students and useful to preK-12 teachers of those students. Unlike its competitors, the book begins and ends with practical assessment strategies for each of the four critical dimensions of the CLD student biography: the sociocultural, linguistic, academic, and cognitive dimensions.

Certified in Elementary Education, Bilingual Education, and School Counseling, Dr. Herrera's recent publications have appeared in the Bilingual Research Journal and the Journal of Latinos and Education.

Dr. Kevin Murry is currently an Associate Professor of Secondary Education at Kansas State University and is the Director of Research and Development for the CIMA Center. His work in research and development has focused on ESL/dual language programming in secondary public schools and teachers’ accommodation readiness for transnational students. Dr. Murry's recent research has emphasized advocacy frameworks for culturally and linguistically diverse students, the linguistic and cross-cultural dynamics of ESL instruction, portfolio-based practicum experiences, and school restructuring for linguistic diversity. His recent publications have appeared in the Journal of Continuing Higher Education, AACTE Briefs, and the Bilingual Research Journal. Dr. Murry has written texts for Pearson/Allyn and Bacon, as well as text chapters for Erlbaum & Associates and ATE/ACEI. Robin Morales Cabral currently serves as an instructional coordinator for the CIMA Center in the College of Education at Kansas State University. Ms. Cabral prepares school educators to professionally address the social, emotional and learning needs of students in highly diverse K-12 schools. She has a background in communicative disorders and sciences, school leadership, bilingual special education, and assessment for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students. Ms. Cabral’s years of experience as a bilingual speech language pathologist, parent/teacher liaison, intervention coordinator, and assessment specialist, have led to advisory roles with classroom teachers, special educators, and school administrators dedicated to best school and classroom practices necessary to target the individual and collective needs of CLD students.
